Monmouth Beach is a reliable Jersey Shore beach break known among locals for the drainage pipe outflow that creates a quasi-point break setup, producing fun right-handers when sandbars align with the structure. The east-facing exposure picks up a wide range of Atlantic swells, with fall nor'easters and hurricane swells delivering the best conditions. A solid option for intermediate surfers looking for a wave with a bit more shape than the average NJ beach break.
