About the Break

Avalon Jetty is a sandbar break next to a rock jetty, which adds structure to an otherwise typical Jersey Shore beach break, picking up groundswell and hurricane swell through late summer and fall. As a jetty break, the rock structure shapes a more consistent peak than an open beach, generally suiting intermediate-to-advanced surfers comfortable surfing near hard structure.

Surf Etiquette at Jetty Breaks

Jetty breaks form where a rock structure shapes the sandbar, which usually means a more defined, consistent peak than the open beach on either side — and a more consistent crowd drawn to it as a result. Stay aware of the rocks themselves, particularly at lower tide or in close-out sets that can push you toward the structure. The standard right-of-way rules apply, and because the peak is more fixed than a shifting beach break, it’s worth spending a few minutes watching how the lineup is rotating before paddling out.
