Most of the sand from the rest of Jersey's beach-nourishment program ends up on this 5mile (8km) resort stretch. All swells and tides, with high not being a problem due to the volume of sand. The U.S. Coast Guard owns the island's prime surfing real estate.
Stormwater and summer jellyfish but rarely crowded at this non-tagged island resort. Rollercoasters, a million hotels, and WWII pill boxes contribute to the ambiance.

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.
