Radio Road

Radio Road is a small, low-profile kitesurfing launch on the Mystic Islands side of Little Egg Harbor Township, with flat to choppy water and generally cloudy water quality. The spot is mainly used for wind directions spanning E through W (including ESE, SE, SW, WSW, and W), with the wind described as mixed and moderately gusty. Access is constrained: parking is next to the beach and fits only a few cars, with summer sessions potentially becoming crowded even when the area looks “quiet” overall. The launch itself is narrow, so riders should be ready to launch quickly and commit to getting into the water rather than lingering at the road end. Safety is the biggest theme here. Power lines run along the road where riders typically pump up and launch, creating a clear hazard during setup and kiting. Other reported hazards include shallow water, submerged pilings, and (near the marsh/water edge) shallow sandbars; the end-of-road area also has limited room for rigging and launching. From a seasonal/wind-timing perspective, best months are listed as March, April, May, September, October, and November, and the thermal pattern is described as summer sea breezes that often come from the South or Southwest during warm afternoons. For many riders, the most consistent sessions are expected in spring and autumn, with the additional summer sea-breeze component coming into play later in the day.
