Ventnor Pier is a beach break where the pier structure creates sandbars that produce defined peaks with more shape than the surrounding open beach. The SSE-facing exposure picks up S and SE swells well, and fall hurricane swells can deliver punchy, fast waves with occasional overhead sets. The pier acts as a natural landmark and current break, concentrating sandbars on either side that hold form across various tide stages. NW offshore winds create the cleanest conditions.
