Wooden Jetty

Wooden Jetty is a surf spot located in New Jersey, USA Northeast. It’s situated at the southern tip of Long Beach Island, within the Holgate Wildlife Reserve. The surf spot provides left waves. Wooden Jetty features a beach and jetty break with fairly consistent surf conditions throughout the year. The waves break over a sandy bottom with some rocks, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The spot works on all tides, but mid-tide is often considered optimal. Wooden Jetty is most favorable when the swell comes from the northeast, with offshore winds from the northwest. Surfers should be cautious of submerged rocks, strong rip currents, and underwater debris like wooden planks, shopping carts, and old pipes, especially at lower tides. The spot is known as a regional classic but can get crowded. Respect for locals and following surf etiquette is important here. Wooden Jetty offers rides less than 50m long. The waves can peak outside on the beach, reform at the tip of the wooden jetty, mellow out, and then bowl up again at the tip of another jetty. This pattern can provide an additional 100 to 300 meters of ride to the beach. Nearby spots include Beach Haven 5th Street, 82nd Street, 58th Street, Castles, and Long Beach Island. Surfers should be aware of fishermen casting their reels in the surf zone. The spot can be very busy during the day, and parking fees are required during summer months. Check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. For the most up-to-date information, it’s advisable to check the surf forecast, report, and map before your visit. Remember to respect the environment as the spot is near a bird sanctuary.
