711 surf guide

711 is the closest stretch of beach to the only causeway connecting Long Beach Island (L.B.I) to the mainland. It's a decent spot that usually gets a fair share of crowds, with surfers of all skill levels showing up throughout the year. If you're looking to grab a quick bite or snack, the Seven Eleven is just around the corner, and there's free roadside parking available, unlike the beach area where you’ll need to pay for parking during the summer months.

This beach break works best with a southwest swell direction and can handle swell sizes starting from 2 ft (about 0.6 meters). You'll find waves breaking over sandy bottoms, producing both lefts and rights that can cater to beginners. It tends to be most consistent with low to mid tide but can still produce rideable waves at high tide as well. While it accepts various swell directions, including northeast and south, be aware that the overall quality of the waves is generally pretty average.

Due to its accessibility and the surrounding amenities, 711 can get pretty crowded, especially when conditions are right. If you're planning to hit the water, it's a good idea to go early or on weekdays if you want to avoid the heavier weekend crowds. Just keep in mind the wind direction; a westerly wind is preferable for better conditions. Happy surfing!
