More about Stockton surfspot
This is the pick of the Cape May south-facing beaches. Incoming tide on an overhead swell usually means barrels, unless they have recently pumped sand.
General: Stockton Lefts break off a rock jetty, but they need a bigger swell at least chest-high to overhead to show its full potential. This used to be the most consistent spot in town, but beach replenishment projects have made the sandbars hit-or-miss. Tides: Mid Size: Waist high-well overhead Wind: N Swell: E to SE Bottom: Sand Paddling: Doable, depends on the swell. Spot Rating: Depends on the sandbar but can get fun.
Beginner to expert
Easy, but toughest in the summer months.
September through March
Crowd Factor: Light to moderate. Local Vibe: Mellow to moderate.
Stormwater, rip currents, and a sometimes crowded scenario because the rest of NJ will be onshore when this consistent spot is firing. Beach tags required for all Cape May beaches. Designated summer surfing.
Pretty clean overall.
Submerged pilings, vigilant beach-tag checkers.
