34th Street is a fun beach break on the southern end of Long Beach Island, catching SE and E swells that push up the coast during fall hurricane season and nor'easters. The sandy bottom produces consistent peaks across a wide stretch of beach, making it accessible for surfers of all levels. NW winds blow offshore here, cleaning up the wave faces and creating the best conditions on this stretch of the southern Jersey Shore.
