Jenkinson's surf guide

Jenkinson's, located just across from Manasquan Inlet, is a popular surf spot known for its peaky and wedgy waves. This area can be challenging due to its lively currents and often heavy crowds, especially when the surf is on. It’s worth keeping in mind that Jenkinson's can be a bit unpredictable, and the vibe largely depends on the conditions of the day.

The surf at Jenkinson's can handle swells from 4ft (1.2m) to a good 12ft (3.7m) and usually breaks over sand. Waves can come in both right and left, making it a versatile spot for different kinds of surfers. The ideal conditions happen with swells from the ESE, ENE, E, and even as far out as NE. Best bets for a good session are mid to high tides, but it can work on any tide depending on the swell. For paddling, it’s typically a short haul, which is nice, but just watch out for the packed crowds – it gets pretty busy when the waves are good.

Access to Jenkinson's is via pay parking, with some limited street parking options. Given its popularity, especially in the summer with tourists, parking can get tricky. A heads-up: the jetty can be a hazard close by, along with the thick crowd when everything’s firing. This spot generally shines from September through March, attracting mainly expert surfers looking to ride solid waves.
