A low, exposed Cape May spit where punchy, steep beach - breaks pop to life on long-period southeast energy and stiff northwesterly offshore winds. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Poverty Beach in New Jersey.
Forecast
As of:
Shore break can be powerful and the steep, shoaling sandbar produces fast, hollow peaks - expect hazardous shore-y closeouts on big groundswells.
Best practical windows are long-period SE (SSE-SE) groundswells with a fresh N-NNW offshore breeze and mid→high tide.
NE swells can work but are less consistent.
