He probably spent a summer down at the Jersey shore ("boards" meaning boardwalks, "i took ATLANTIC home tonight" meaning atlantic ocean) Okay, so it could be any shore on the East coast, but I'm from Jersey so I assume.
So he was at this nice vacation place without the girl he loves, and even as much as he wants to enjoy the beach and the boardwalks, he can't because he's not with her and he misses her presence and can't wait to come home.
It's definately about missing his girlfriend.
