Example - let's say wind is breezy from the west, but I'll be enjoying mostly calm water from Shark River Inlet northward beyond the Shrewsbury Rocks.
At the same time, guys in Raritan Bay out to beyond the hook can wind up running back in to avoid nasty seas especially when the tide goes against wind.
Shark River Inlet is one of the best - waves can start stacking up at the mouth, but only when it's rough and wind vs tide. Mostly it's the easiest inlet I use from New Jersey.

It's one of the reasons I started running down the Hackensack River to the Hudson. Coming back into that area from down south you run can across the mouth of the bay before the rip over to the Coney Island side, then up along the Staten Island side and you miss most of that rip coming out from the bay. Much safer and less stressful.
