Left off a long jetty in Beach Haven, at the south end of Long Beach Island, a left that ran much longer before beach replenishment shortened it. On a big nor'easter you paddle around the jetty into lined-up lefts; smaller days give a left and right down the beach. Best on E swell with a NW wind; the sandbar shifts constantly.
