Brigantine is a pretty cool place in the summertime. Water temps can get up to 78 degrees. Located about 4 miles from the mainland the air temperatures are mild. The wind usually picks up around one o-clock every afternoon providing excellent conditions for windsurfing. Brigantine is famous for the waves that break at the south end of the jetty.
Surfers come from all over the state during big south swells.
Brigantine surfing areas are larger and more numerous then any other towns in the state thanks to the city fathers many years ago who saw the value of watersports. Half the present city council members either surf or kayak themselves. This has helped us maintain our generous surfing and kayaking areas to this day. Kayakers will think they are in kayak heaven. In the ocean your skill, courage, and common sense are your only limitations on where you can go.
