What's it like?

Thinking about taking a trip down there on Saturday. Forecast looks great.

What I do know is that the water is usually waist high as far out as you can go at State road. Ragden and Rian know which winds are the best for bayside but Im sure that most winds trending from the west should be pretty good. Tibi alsi enjoys going there.

I think Saturday is going to be a board and buggy day for me at my local field.

Of course that was assuming you meant getting on the water.

Thanks Rich! Yes thinking about getting on the water. Im sure they will chime in.

Hoping to convince both Jaymz and Kober!

Those are good winds for bay side in Seashore Park (Dewey). New Rd is the spot. I think Rich was mixed up, cause there is no State Rd down there. The water is shin to waist deep for quite a bit depending on tide. It's a really great spot and I spend pretty much all my time there during the summer. I also buggy down there on ocean side when conditions are right in the off season. If you guys come down let me know and maybe I can pop down to catch up, I'm only about 40 minutes away. I don't have a wetsuit though, so I won't be joining you on the water. Konrad has my number, so just give me a ring. Also, park entrance fees ($8 out of state) are still in effect until Nov. 30th. It's unattended this time of year and works on the honor system. I'm not suggesting you don't pay, I'm just letting you know that no one will be in the booth and there is self payment box there (most people drive right past it). It's just a heads up so in the event a Ranger does come by, you won't get a ticket. :thumbup:

Yup, I do it all the time. Dont know why I cant remember the name of that spot.

No bites from the rest of the NJ crew. So will be staying local.
