Jet Ski column rule: on the water from a 76°F high; wetsuit weather from 66°F; off the water below.
By that rule a personal watercraft at Newark has 4 months on the water (June to September), 2 of wetsuit weather and 6 off the water. By that rule a personal watercraft at Atlantic City has 4 months on the water (June to September), 2 of wetsuit weather and 6 off the water.
New Jersey freezes in short spells: Atlantic City has about 101.3 freezing nights but only 10.5 days that stay below 32°F, and those overnight freezes are what crack a personal watercraft that was not drained.

NOAA's 1991-2020 median first 32°F night is November 10 at Newark and October 29 at Atlantic City; winterize by October 15, two weeks ahead of the earlier date. By our personal watercraft rule Newark stays on the water through September and Atlantic City through September, then 2 months of wetsuit weather follow at Newark. 29 New Jersey listings offer indoor or climate-controlled space.
6 at Newark (October to May) and 6 at Atlantic City (October to May), plus 2 and 2 months of wetsuit weather. Those off the water months hold 31.3 of the 31.5 inches of snow Newark averages a year (99%), which is the load on a cover or carport roof. At Newark a personal watercraft is on the water from June to September (4 months), against 4 at Atlantic City.
Of 29 live New Jersey listings, 29 list indoor space and 0 climate-controlled units, against 29 outdoor and 9 covered.
