“Multiple contributors endorse Sandy Hook, noting long-running waves in suitable swell and smaller options farther north, while stressing surfer awareness. Progression Project forum first-hand report adds two completed Sandy Hook Bay downwind routes with wind/tide pairing: Missile Monument to Popamora on outgoing N–NW, and Keansburg to Sandy Hook on incoming WSW–WNW.”
