Sea Girt is a mellow beachbreak along the northern Monmouth County coastline of New Jersey, offering forgiving sandbars and relatively consistent surf thanks to its east-facing exposure to Atlantic swells. The waves here tend to be smaller and mushier than more exposed stretches of the Jersey Shore, making it a favorite among learners and longboarders looking for relaxed sessions. Fall is the prime season when passing nor'easters and tropical remnants push organized groundswells into the break, occasionally producing punchy, head-high surf.
