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.
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.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
