Long Beach Island / Ship Bottom 33rd Street, New Jersey (USA)

• Ocean
• Choppy

• Choppy ocean conditions with strong currents and undertow typical of New Jersey coast
• Shallow sandbars and hidden obstacles; watch for swimmers and fishing activity
• Cold water temperatures year-round; hypothermia risk in winter months
• Busy beach area with recreational swimmers during warmer seasons

• Beach access via 33rd Street with parking and restroom facilities
• Local shops and restaurants in Ship Bottom village
• Lifeguard presence during summer season

Best wind window is winter/early spring (Jan-Apr) with 92.5 windy days annually; plan visits around these peak months. Check local tide tables and avoid launch during extreme low tide when sandbars become hazardous.

Launch from the sandy beach; expect choppy conditions typical of exposed ocean spots. WNW and NW winds provide the most consistent offshore/cross-shore flows with good wave riding potential.

Respect lifeguard zones and swimmer areas, especially in summer; stay clear of fishing lines and other water users. Local riders generally respect staggered launch times during crowded conditions.

Wear a 4/3mm or 5/4mm winter wetsuit for cold Atlantic water (Nov-Apr); spring and fall require 3/2mm thickness. Summer sessions may allow thinner 2/2mm suits.
