Casino Pier in Seaside Heights is one of the most recognizable surf backdrops on the Jersey Shore, made globally famous when Hurricane Sandy dumped its roller coaster into the ocean in 2012. The east-facing beach break produces fun, peaky waves on either side of the pier structure, which helps shape sandbars and focus swell energy. While the boardwalk draws summer tourists, fall and winter bring cleaner conditions with fewer crowds, rewarding surfers with punchy, rideable peaks.
