Deal

Today features choppy small waves averaging 2.3 feet at Deal, NJ, with a short 3.6-second period making them gutless and unresponsive to the offshore SW wind that is groomingly blowing into their faces. The sandbars and jetties struggle to organize this sub-optimal swell, resulting in a messy texture and limited hold. Tide remains low and incoming, exacerbating the issue by sitting below its ideal mid-range mark.
