Brigantine Seawall is a beach break along the northern end of Brigantine Island, just north of Atlantic City, where the seawall structure helps define sandbars and provides some protection from erosion. The SE-facing exposure picks up swells from nor'easters and tropical systems, with the seawall creating wave refraction patterns that can produce fun peaks. NW offshore winds groom the faces clean during fall and winter, the prime surf season on this stretch of the Jersey Shore.
