7th Street is the crown jewel of Ocean City surfing, considered the best peak in town where the jetty configuration and bottom contours consistently produce well-shaped, punchy waves. The SE-facing exposure picks up a wide range of swells, and the jetties channel sandbars into reliable takeoff zones that deliver both lefts and rights. Fall is prime time when hurricane swells and early nor'easters stack up nicely, drawing a competitive local crowd to this iconic NJ surf spot.
