    beach replenishment sucks! mantoloking is uncrowded and good, but rich dudes i think did some replenishment, would've been so fun if it didn't smack you on a ledge of sand 2 feet deep. :( I still have some secret spots newbies don't know about though. Nonetheless it's awesome getting all these swells after a dead summer

    Yeah 1st gets way crowded but when it really decent you can see mad people streched down to the pier. Especially when the drift goes north.

    dude dont surf there go somewhere else its that simple put some effort into finding your own spot. I dont know about you but id rather surf empty closeouts over a super crowded break any day. At least your not fighting for waves and stressing the entire time. Ive put in my time searching for a good less known breaks and its paid off ive had sick waves to myself while the other places around werent as good and were ridiculously overcrowded. These places still exist dont be part of the heard and all flock to the same spot.

    F6ck it u bunch of posers, just go out in the middle of the crowd invading your spot and ride the waves. Life is what you make it, tomorrow am should be rocking! I'm surfing Deal at 7 and will get my waves, the rest of it I try not to worry about.

    Lived in Jersey for 30+ years and grew up surfing spots from the hook to LBI, Manasquan has always been crowded. Now I live in OBX, 120mi of beach, some spots draw crowds but there is always somewhere it's not.
    Heck somedays I look for people to surf with.

    If you see P.Rhino in the water tell him Jerry in NC said hey!

    If it makes you feel any better ( I know it doesn't cause I share in your frustration about the overcrowding of the few breaks that are left) my son and I who lives in LA surfed Mailbu on Labor Day Monday.
    It was incredible to say the least. Head high and better and everyone who had ever owned a board or borrowed one was there.

    In Delaware it has gotten particularly discouraging with shifting bottoms and crowds.

    That's nothing compared to a certain jetty in monmouth county. I counted 60 people in the water at sunrise the last time it was 3 foot and glassy forecast

    Manasquan gets so crowded cause its closest to nyc (aside from Long Island) so when there is a swell, the new yorkers and other inlanders will come flocking.

    listen i have used this webpage, surf line and others for a number of years. we are at a breaking point here with the crowds. do us all a favor. delete this site. you are really talented at what you do. but you are making it too easy for people. is nothing sacred anymore? i and I'm sure many of you surfed before all these websites. and some of those days were some of the best i can remember. if you don't have the knowledge to predict where the waves are ganna be, maybe you don't deserve to surf. i know you make money off advertisements and all. i understand people got to making a living. but realize the damage you are doing here. same goes for magic seaweed, surf line, surfer's view, etc. isn't it hard to sleep at night knowing you ruined breaks all along the coast in nj so a bunch of lazy inlanders could get some more time in the water?

    This website isn't the issue, it's your poor choice in location. Move somewhere that doesn't suck and maybe you'll score uncrowded waves, you aren't forced to live there are you? If you aren't happy with your local break, then find a new one, because believe me, they are out there.
