Spot Guide
Bay Head is one of New Jersey's best-known surf breaks, famous for its groyne field that shapes sandbars into fast, hollow right-hand barrels. The rock groins focus swell energy and create defined peaks that produce some of the most consistent quality waves on the Jersey Shore, especially during fall nor'easters and hurricane swells. A strong local crew keeps the lineup competitive, but the wave quality here draws surfers from across the tri-state area.
