Additional Information
It's a little jetty and you can surf either north side or south. There is a bunch of other little jettys close by and if you go in between 2 you can either go left or right.
Atmosphere
It's good with a little bit of localism, but just don't drop in on people and you'll be fine.
General
It's a good spot with only a tiny bit of localism. In the summer you can't surf between 10-5, but in the winter you can surf whenever you want. I really like it a lot. It's one of my favorite breaks I surf at.

- I surfed at Howe St. once this spring and it was pretty good , but last time I checked there a couple days ago the waves were about waist high and still just breaking right on the beach. It didn't even look surfable.

The real deal - This place is mediocre at best. It's mostly good on South swells and the right off the jetty can get pretty good. It is a local favorite for the Bay Head/Pt. Pleasant locals when Jenk's isn't working. It invariably closes out most of the time. This spot is closest to my house so I routinely check it. Won't hold anything over 6'. When it's really good here there are other spots that are less crowded and just as good or better. Still though, I had the best backside barrel (made) of my life off of this jetty so...
