Lineup Insights

The Wave

Most reliable windows are low to mid tide with NW to W offshore or cross-offshore wind.

It is known as one of the stronger waves in Cape May County and can hold size better than nearby beachbreaks.

S/SE swells are the standard producers, though N/NE angles can also work depending on sandbar setup.

Lineup Guide

Access and lineup density are shaped by the Coast Guard base area and the walk in, so it often stays quieter than other South Jersey spots but can still get localized when it is on.
