12th Annual Clam Jam

With cooler temperatures and changing leaves just ahead, fall is around the corner, and with it comes the highly-anticipated Jetty Clam Jam window! This year, we will surf & celebrate our local LBI region culture at 68th street beach in the Brant Beach section of Long Beach Township.

The contest is slated for Saturday September
22nd but depending on the conditions, the Jetty Clam Jam will run on the first weekend with good conditions on any of the following Sat/Sun:
[ 9.23 , 10.6 , 10.7 , 10.13 , 10.14 , 10.20 , 10.21 , 10.28 ]

Returning surfers will find our familiar format - a team-oriented surf contest pairing our area's next generation surfers with more experienced wave riders. The first (96) surfers to sign up will have their names scribed on clam shells. The median age determines which pool you are entered into before being randomly paired with another surfer.

Selection Night will take place at The Old Causeway Steak & Oyster House on Friday September 14 (9pm). Alternates are welcomed as the teams are subject to change due to vacations, injuries, family matters, etc. (Shoot us an email at inf[email protected]) if you would like to be added as an alternate).

Get in on the action:
Sponsor The Jam - Our event is fueled by local and regional business sponsors. Throw your logo on the event t-shirt, post up on the beach, or brainstorm a custom way to support the Jam! *Sponsorship opportunities can also be found at www.jettyclamjam.com

Surf The Jam - Register online at www.jettyclamjam.com. You must be from the LBI Region and vetted. If you have any issues signing up, or want to suggest a new competitor, then just shoot us an email at [email protected].

The Pre-Party Jam - Once we have (96) surfers signed up, then we'll randomly draw teams during Selection Night on Friday September 14 at The Old Causeway Steak & Oyster House.

A Family-Oriented Jam - Bring your kids and dogs, dress for the Fall, root on your friends, and celebrate getting through another busy Summer!
