Belmar Pro Surf Forecast brought to you by SurfCaptain.com
Posted: Thursday, August 27, 2026
Synopsis:
Here’s a quick summary for the early surf forecast outlook for the Belmar Pro:
August has been a less than stellar month for New Jersey surf, but that is pretty common for this time of year. The good news is that as we approach September we will see an increased possibility of both coastal low pressure systems and tropical storms/hurricanes. The National Hurricane Center is tracking a new wave off the coast of Africa that has a 60% of developing into a tropical storm over the next 7 days. The Belmar Pro is perfectly positioned for the peak of hurricane season, so fingers crossed for another amazing Belmar Pro swell for 2026.

There is a reason the Belmar Pro consistently gets waves, and its not just because the Surf Gods love us, which we’re convinced they do, but also because the Belmar Pro is scheduled right at the climatology peak of the Atlantic Hurricane Season.
Directors have chosen to hold the contest in September to coincide with warm water, sunshine, and the peak of Hurricane Season.
