Cape May Point

The waves are too small at just 2 ft, with a short period of 3.3 seconds that feels gutless on this point break. The low tide is exacerbating the issue, as the spot thrives on mid to high tides to maintain shape. Currently, the cross-shore wind from SSW adds unevenness and side-texture to the face, making it challenging to find a clean section. The best window today is 8AM-10AM when the swell direction is still ESE, offering slightly better conditions but not enough to overcome the current limitations.
