This series of jetties around 8th Street has good waves with longer lefts on a NE swell. Some reasonable power and well-shaped barrels at this popular boardwalk spot. Strong currents make the paddle-out difficult when it gets overhead. Low tide is best and will handle a bit of N in the wind.
Consistent and often crowded in front of surf shop scene. Summer sea-lice.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
