Mantoloking Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Mantoloking in New Jersey is an exposed beach break that offers powerful, hollow waves, especially during hurricane swells in late summer and early fall. Offshore winds from the northwest groom south and southeast swells, producing fast, peaky lefts and rights over well-defined sandbars. The spot works across most tide stages, with mid to incoming tide generally offering the best shape and power. Crowds are moderate, though some stretches remain quiet due to limited public access. Surfers should be cautious of strong rip currents and heavy shorebreak. The most consistent clean waves usually occur in September.
