About Sandy Hook

Sandy Hook catches swell from multiple directions thanks to its unique position at the tip of a barrier peninsula. The sandbars create fun, peaky waves that work on various tides. It's one of the more consistent spots in the area and offers a range of breaks along its length. The national recreation area setting keeps development minimal and the vibe mellow.

This Week's Outlook

Saturday afternoon looks most promising with 1-2ft waves and that northwest wind staying offshore to keep things clean. Sunday could pump if that swell fills in, but those strong winds make it sketchy - probably better to stick with Saturday's more manageable conditions.
