To make the most of these fleeting hurricane swells, surfers closely monitored the forecasts. Mainly, to ensure they can hit the water during the prime moments of the swell. The conditions were ideal, featuring gentle offshore winds and glassy waves with faces ranging from 6 to 12 feet. Occasionally, the sets of waves forming hollow barrels. Most of the Jersey Shore offers beach breaks near rock jetties. Hurricane swell days are best left to experienced surfers due to the powerful waves and strong currents they bring.
