Today

Smaller blend of surf this morning. Knee-thigh high w/ building SW/SSW winds ahead of a front.

Dawn to Midday: Small S windswell and minor leftover ESE swell mix is showing a few loggable waves around the knee-thigh high for most of the better breaks. Not great and looking somewhat weak and note water temps have dropped. Semi-clean early with light+ SW winds.

Afternoon Outlook: Winds trend more sideshore, so overall not looking like very worthwhile afternoon surf.

Island Beach State Park Surf Guide

It offers multiple sandbars and can be super fun at the beginning of a groundswell. Watch the winds, because there's nothing to block them. The area offers some of the state's best fishing, so bring a pole and catch lunch. Read more
