    Significant shoaling, Manasquan Inlet

    FYI, never seen it this bad. Nobody can say why (sustained South winds?) but it looks like most of the NJ dredged sand projects now have shoaled up choaking this busy inlet. Hoping it's cleared b4 Debby arrives

    The Unpredictable Fluke Season: What's Really Going On?

    The NJ ocean fluke are scarce and short. The last full moon should've brought in another wave of offshore fluke, unfortunately they're small.
