Ocean Grove is a mellow New Jersey beach break situated along the northern Monmouth County coastline, facing roughly eastward into the Atlantic and picking up swells generated by nor'easters and tropical systems alike. The sandy bottom produces forgiving, rolling waves that are well-suited to beginners and longboarders, though fall swells can push up more punchy, rideable peaks. Its historic seaside community setting gives it a relaxed, unhurried vibe that sets it apart from the more bustling Jersey Shore surf towns nearby.
