Of the 4 hurricanes NOAA records in New Jersey since 1851, 3 arrived in months our season rule marks as on the water at Newark (Jun, Jul, Aug and Sep) and 1 in the other months; 1 fell in months marked wetsuit weather. At Atlantic City the count is 3 in months on the water. 0 have come since 2000 and 0 were Category 3 or stronger.
In NOAA's record, New Jersey impacts fall most often in September (3) and October (1). In those months a personal watercraft at Newark is on the water in September and wetsuit weather in October by our season rule, and on the water in 4 of the 6 season months overall, so settle storage before June 1.

Move it at once. 29 New Jersey listings list enclosed space; book one before June. All but 1 of the 4 New Jersey hurricanes on record came in months a personal watercraft at Newark is on the water by our rule, so expect to move it from use, not from storage. Newark averages 4.7 inches in July, so check the site drains.
