Local Waves

EST. 2022

Catch A Wave. Catch A Vibe.
“I wanted to share a feeling. The feeling of belonging. The feeling of being comforted. The feeling of being home.”

– Lori Height, Local Waves designer + founder

A Sketch. A Story. A Sweatshirt.

“It all started with a simple idea- how can we share with the world what it means to be a local?” This small, family-owned business set out on a mission to encapsulate the quaint, vibrant, summer-loving, coastal town of Manasquan, New Jersey through the design of a sweatshirt.


“When I drew our 732 area code and replaced the two with a peace sign, Local Waves was born.”

Legendary Comfort.

Sustainably Sourced.

Sweatshirts that Give Back.

Casual, cozy and adorned with the catchy lingo of our fellow surfers and beach-lovers, our garments are made with love and sustainably sourced. Local Waves takes great pride in partnering with New Jersey non-profits, creating custom designs that help give back to organizations working to better our local communities.
