Strathmere is a laid-back beach break tucked between Ocean City and Sea Isle City on a quiet stretch of the New Jersey barrier island coastline. The east-facing Atlantic exposure picks up E and ESE swells, producing mellow waves over a sandy bottom that are well-suited for beginners and longboarders. Its off-the-beaten-path feel keeps crowds thin compared to its more popular neighbors, making it a rewarding find for surfers seeking uncrowded New Jersey lineups.
