Longport's 32nd Street is a mellow beach break at the southern tip of Absecon Island, where the SE-facing coastline picks up swells from tropical systems and nor'easters. The sandy bottom provides forgiving conditions ideal for learning, and the relatively uncrowded lineup makes it a relaxed alternative to the busier breaks in Atlantic City and Margate. Fall delivers the most consistent surf with clean NW offshore winds.
