BIGGEST NEW JERSEY SURF IN 30 YEARS
BIGGEST NEW JERSEY SURF IN 30 YEARS
Monday, December 18th, 2023 was the biggest surf New Jersey’s seen in over 30 years.
Surfing New Jersey in the middle of the winter is a challenge given the freezing temperatures, stiff offshore winds, rip currents, thick wetsuits, and steep drop ins. Add the biggest swell in history and it becomes a true challenge only a handful of surfers are down to attempt.
According to Surfline, the Delaware Bay buoy recorded a staggering 6.3 meters at 15 seconds on Monday morning, solidifying its place in East Coast surfing history.
Enjoy the highlights from this El Niño-influenced swell as surfers pushed the limits in a classic big wave surfing fashion.

How about say where in New Jersey for Christ sakes
Ballls NJ baby!!
From NJ live in LA and love all surf videos!!!!
So good. Love seeing how deep some of these guys are taking off.
Imagine trying to paddle in all that shit they have to wear into waves like that.
I surfed it bigger than the video 20 years ago at Manasquan.
Perfect day for my moonraker
WOW
Jersey can't handle a big swell like this. 90% closeouts
Wrong day. The day before was twice as big.
A smaller version of, but as hollow as….Puerto Escondido. And that’s a compliment NJ?
… Well done, some nice sections made. Documents the sad fact that even when it's really good in Jersey, it's a (mostly losing) battle to actually make a heavy section and/or exit an epic-barrel. Props' to everyone who tried though; made all the more difficult with excess Neoprene, cold biting winds, and heavy currents. Jersey kind of forces you to either shoulder-hop, pick-off the smaller "in-between" waves, or commit to getting seriously hammered (as #3 did at the 0:36 mark) – 600.00+ $$ over-the knee, Ouchh !! – A "SoCal" Surfer surely knows what i'm Sayin'
best waves of my life were post storm Havey Ceders nj … overhead tubes and 3 guys out
Looks like big Hatteras.
Yeah Max Beach!!!!
Woooo whooooo. Great job on line of sight.video and waves… mind blowing….
This is the second day when it was smaller. Missed Monday afternoon.
There is one shot that gives it away, but I ain’t saying. It gives an approximation how far away from the landmark.
The whole coast was looking like this for the most part.
