I never even check those spots unless I have a reason to hope it's gonna be emptier that day. Generic beachbreak is in the cards for me later. High tide too probably, 0-3 others max.

West of the Atlantic. East of the ICW.

Its become such a buzzkill to pull up the cams and watch the shitshow on a 40* morning like this. My local is similarly crowded and the mix is about 50% kooks on longboards.

You only have to surf in crowds during off season NJ if you want to. The same wannabes who bitch about crowds make sure to surf in front of the cams

Going down to SoCal for the holidays, just in time for conditions to be good up here.

Alas.

Maybe whatever storm surf there was will shift some sand around in better places.
