Cape May

Today's waves are a meager 1 to 2 feet, with a short period of just 3 seconds, creating a choppy texture unsuitable for bodyboarding. The SW wind at 12 mph is onshore, breaking the face and reducing the wave quality further. Tides are low and incoming, adding to the poor conditions as the spot prefers mid or high tide. The best window between 8AM-10AM still offers minimal surfability.
