- Rips / undertow
- Man-made danger (buoys etc..)
- Sharks
watch out for swimmers and kids in the lineup since it occasionaly breaks shallow their always in the way. Park on Sherman ave if you can. Be carefull of rips during big storms
Atmosphere
This is an average spot in S. Jersey. But it can get really good during a hurricane or a Nor Easter. UYsed to be alot better until someone decided they needed bigger beaches. (Water used to break by the steps to the beach.) Locals are cool treat em with respect and they will treat you the same.
General
I love it its even fun when its flat

the pic posted.... - forums frequented by young new jersey surfers always have posts of people talkin shit on every break other than their own. read the previous posts about how bad this place sucks then check out the pic of dude slotted to see my point. the real kooks are the shit talkers, remember that.

- go to 59th street, its better there anyway. strathmere not worth it. the inlet shoals break up any swell, it never gets over waist. def not worth it.
