About Deal
Deal is a classic Jersey Shore setup where quality sandbars meet consistent Atlantic swell. The beach break here responds well to northeast and east swells, producing punchy, fast waves that reward quick feet and committed surfing. When fall hurricanes send long-period energy up the coast, Deal can deliver some of the best barrels in New Jersey. The local crew runs deep with talent, and the lineup gets competitive on good days. Best surfed on mid-tide with west or northwest winds holding the faces clean.
