North Street is a beach break in the Ocean City / Avalon area of the southern Jersey Shore, where the coastline angles to pick up SE swells from offshore storms. The shifting sandbars produce punchy peaks with both lefts and rights, and fall is prime time when hurricane-season groundswells combine with NW offshore winds for the cleanest conditions on this stretch of the South Jersey coast.
