Long Beach Island

About Long Beach Island

Long Beach Island offers classic New Jersey beach-break surfing with a wide range of setups depending on sandbars and street access. The island handles swell well from multiple angles, producing punchy peaks on short-period wind swell and more organized lines on longer-period groundswell. Quality varies block to block, rewarding surfers who pay attention to bar formation, tide, and wind. When it’s on, LBI can deliver fast, makeable sections and occasional hollow pockets.
