Brigantine surf reviews


Brigantine Surf Spot Reviews

The jetty is the most popular spot to surf in Brigantine. Although it is considered a summer spot there are some waves to be had during the winter. This wave break within a quarter mile from the Brigantine Jetty. In between this quarter mile there are three more pronounced sandbars where waves break the best. The General rule of thumb when surfing at the Jetty is the bigger the waves the farther away from the Jetty you’re going to be surfing.  Specifically the best break for bigger waves would be right in the swinging beach and maybe 100 yards north of that area. This spot often produces the best waves that the jetty can offer.
            On rare occasions, usually during the hurricane season the Jetty becomes washed out when there is to big of a swell usually around 8ft swell and up. On this occasion it would be best to check a number of spots which all offer pros and cons. One of My favorite spots for this even would be the cove. This is a point break that goes off during low tides. This wave is known for going over 100 yards and is only known to the locals. The downside to surfing here is that there is really bad current that has you constantly paddling up the beach towards the jetty.
            Another spot, which is highly respected almost more than all other spots in brigantine, would the sea wall. This break breaks a few hundred yards offshore and can holds swells 10ft plus. This wave is really fast moving and gives you long technically demanding rides.
