What are the best surf conditions for Wildwood?
Gets good from waist high to triple overhead. We recommend riding a longboard here most days and a shortboard when bigger. Beginner thru advanced surfers will all find something here. The surf here usually has a wave (5/10) and can get ridiculously crowded with all craft and swimmers in the summer (10/10). The best winds are from the Northwest. The best swells come from the East. This break works on all tides.
We recommend wearing boardshorts or a bikini in the summer when water temperatures rise to 25 degrees. In the winter we recommend a 5/4 wetsuit in the 4-degree water. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
