The water is clean and you can use the tides to your advantage. It offers flat water and varying wave conditions. Large sandbar island in the center of the inlet. Sandbar island offers plenty of room and no one around. Small to medium waves on the oceanside.
Large open beaches also good for buggy or dirt board. Many launches to choose from depending on the wind direction. Don't forget you have access from 123rd street in Stone Harbor to the North. This is the best place for South winds. Off-season the beaches are empty and free of lifeguards.
Fall is the best because the water is still warm but spring is also excellent. Mid winter is cold but it's windy for the hard-core. Best time of the year is spring and fall. Mid winter gets too cold.
Take the New Jersey parkway south and launch from either 123rd street or from 10th street in North Wildwood. Remember Corsen's Inlet is a huge area and you may have to go over some bridges and or walk a bit to get to the best spot for the wind direction.
Watch out for the fenced areas for bird nesting! Ask where you can surf if it is during the summer season. Use a leash, otherwise the spot can be closed real quick. Be cautious to beach goers. They were there way before you and will remain if you get kicked off. Remember you will probably be the only kiter so they will be curious and annoying. Just use your head and be safe. Don't expect to see any other kiters.
