Manasquan Inlet

Manasquan Inlet is a artificial break over mixed, and how suitable it is for beginners really depends on the size and power on the day — not a fixed label. Set the level to Beginner above and WaveCheck flags the smaller, cleaner hours worth paddling out for.

Different days call for different boards. Manasquan Inlet handles a range of boards — a longboard or fish when it's small, a shortboard when there's more push. Tap through the boards above to see the live score for whatever you'll be riding.

Manasquan Inlet tends to work best around mid tide. The tide chart above shows the current stage plus the next high and low, so you can time your session.

Look for from the ENE / E / ESE with light offshore winds from the WSW / W / WNW. The 5-day forecast above scores every hour, so you can spot the window at a glance.
