Casino Pier

Casino Pier is a pier break in Seaside Heights, NJ, covered by a free live cam from The Ocean View.

About the Break

Seaside Heights is a sandbar beach break typical of the Jersey Shore, with the pier pilings adding structure that can hold a wedging peak on the right swell. As a pier break, it draws a range of skill levels, but the pilings themselves are a real, fixed hazard worth respecting, especially in bigger swell or a strong current.

Surf Etiquette at Pier Breaks

Pier breaks add one real hazard beach breaks don’t have: the pilings themselves. Give them a wide berth, especially in bigger swell or onshore wind where currents can push you sideways into them, and never assume the wave will let you cut it close. Etiquette-wise, the usual rules apply — the surfer closest to the peak has right of way, don’t drop in on a rider already up — but pier peaks often draw a steady crowd since the structure itself tends to shape a consistent peak, so expect more people sharing fewer waves than at an open beach break nearby.
