Ventnor Pier is a surf spot located on the southern coast, known for its consistent breaks and accessibility. It’s a popular area for surfers looking for some fun waves. While the parking does come with a fee, it's generally easy to access the beach. The crowd factor here can range from light to moderate, so you might need to share the waves but it shouldn’t be too chaotic.

The surf here is pretty versatile, as the pier picks up swells from the NorthEast and South, handling sizes from around 4ft (1.2m) to 8ft (2.4m). You can expect to find fun left and right breaks on either side, especially during low to mid tides. The mellow paddling experience is great for intermediate to expert surfers. The preferred wind direction is from the Northwest, which helps clean up the waves. The bottom is sandy, making it safer to ride. Overall, expect decent conditions to catch some fun waves depending on the sandbar setup.

Autumn and winter are the best seasons to hit Ventnor Pier, with swells maintaining a good consistency through September to March. You can use a variety of board types, including shortboards, fish, funboards, longboards, and even bodyboards, making it suitable for different surfing styles. Just keep in mind that there can be hazards like the pier itself and potential rip currents, so always be aware when you’re out there.
