Surf Trestles

Trestles - Cape May Trestles features powerful sandbar waves breaking both right and left over a sandy bottom. Located at Cape May, this spot is generally empty due to restricted access by the US Coast Guard, making it a hidden gem for adventurous surfers. It works best at low and mid tide with rising and falling tides. Accessing Trestles requires a short walk of 5-15 minutes or a boat ride, both of which can be challenging due to the area's remote nature. The surf is most consistent during the autumn and winter months, from September to March, attracting few surfers on weekends and remaining empty during the week. While the local vibe is typically mellow, caution is advised due to shallow areas and potential rip currents. Despite the lack of official permission for surfing, Trestles offers a clean and rewarding experience when conditions align.
