Ocean with waves. Large waves break off on outside sandbar created by the south jetty of the Barnegat Light Inlet. This break can be very treacherous at times so sail at your own risk. A smaller inside break also works protected by the south jetty for easier riding and beginners. Low tide is best for smaller shore break. Enormous beach with plenty of area for launching and landing. The downside is the very long walk from the car to the beach (0.5-0.75 miles). There is a tractor taxi that runs around to help with the walk in June to August. Famous New Jersey warm southerly thermal winds blow on average 2-3 times per weeks in May, June and July. Northeast, South and Southwest winds provide excellent ocean sailing. Best wind directions are N, NE, E, SE, S, SW. W works only if it is really windy. From April/May to end of November you will see favorable conditions. Water: Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave, Bigwave. Features: Shop, Rescue, Toilet, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
