Thirtyseventh Street Jetty (Sea Isle City)

Thirtyseventh Street Jetty in Sea Isle City is an exposed beach/jetty break with a sandy bottom where a rock jetty helps shape the sandbars and create more consistent peaks. Surf is described as working year-round, with a classic New Jersey jetty-assisted setup that can offer both lefts and rights. Wave behavior is typically characterized as moderate-power, with peeling/mixed wave shape depending on conditions. Providers note ride experiences ranging from fast, punchy short rides to longer cruising sections, with the jetty assisting takeoff/exit especially on larger days. Optimal swell direction is most often described toward the east/northeast quadrant, and the working swell-height window is reported as roughly 0.6 to 1.5 meters. Wind-wise, the spot performs best with west winds, which are described as offshore and help clean up the faces; winds from the east can create choppy, blown-out conditions. The wind-related guidance also emphasizes that November is the standout month, aligning with the spot’s best surf timing. Safety at this jetty break centers on strong current hazards: sideshore currents and rip-current risk near the jetty rocks, plus potential submerged debris after storms. Surfing access and behavior are controlled in summer—restricted to designated surfing streets/zones, with beach tags required Memorial Day through Labor Day—so visitors should plan around guarded hours, curfews, and posted boundary rules.
