There are only 21 Surf Stations in the entire country and Barnegat is 1 of them. Barnegat inlet is rated in the top five for most dangerous inlets at times with 30 foot seas and 20 foot breakers. It's No joke out there at times

Says something about water temps tho, to have one that far north... global warming?

Casino I stand corrected. There are 21 stations, only 5 are on this coast. Barnegat inlet is one of the 5 roughest on the( East Coast). In no order they are

Barnegat
Chatham
Merrimack River
Oregon Inlet
Hatteras


Cape Disappointment In Oregon is probably the worst in the country

Capo,
Those are just stations??? Where does it state it's the roughest of all inlets??
I've talked to Interstate boaters and they did mention that Hatteras is in fact one of the roughest between here and Florida but I doubt the Merrimack in Mass.

Anyway it doesnt matter, stick with the basics, be safe always check the weather and make sure you have a radio to contact the Coast Guard.
