Casino is a beach break near the historic Asbury Park casino building along the central Jersey Shore. The east-facing exposure picks up E and NE swells well, producing punchy, hollow peaks when conditions align during fall hurricane season and winter nor'easters. Westerly offshore winds clean up the surf nicely, delivering some of the crispest conditions on this stretch of the Monmouth County coastline.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Casino is 2-3+ft with a 5.9s swell period. Wind is WSW at 10mph. Conditions are rated Fair - Good. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Casino is 2-3+ft, produced by a 2.3ft E wind swell swell at 6s, a 1.6ft SE secondary swell at 9s, a 1.2ft S wind swell swell at 2s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
Based on the current 5-day forecast, the best window to surf Casino is Monday from 6 AM to 9 AM with 3ft waves, a 7.9s swell period, and conditions rated Fair - Good. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
Casino works best with a E swell and W winds. Offshore winds groom the face of the wave, while onshore winds turn it sloppy. Cross-offshore conditions usually produce the cleanest shape.
Tide plays a big role at Casino. Mid tide works for most beach breaks, while reef and point breaks often prefer higher or lower stages. Use the tide chart above to line up your session with the swell peak.

The prime season at Casino is fall, when swell direction, wind patterns, and water temps line up most consistently. Outside the peak season you can still score, but you'll need to watch the forecast closely for the right windows.
Common hazards at Casino include strong currents, rip tides, crowds during peak swell, cold water. Always check conditions before paddling out, respect local etiquette, and never surf alone if you're unfamiliar with the break.
Our Casino forecast uses NOAA GFS and other weather models combined with spot-specific bathymetry to calculate breaking wave heights. Short-range (1-3 day) forecasts are most reliable; extended forecasts show general trends. We also verify our offshore swell predictions against NOAA buoy measurements daily — see our accuracy page for those swell-verification metrics (buoys measure open-water swell, not breaking surf size).
