The inlet is being dredged today, 10/5. You can watch it on one of the Manasquan Inlet cams. The dredged material is being dumped north of the inlet in close to the beach. I just hope the water clears before the surf run starts in earnest. I am glad the mouth of the inlet is being dredged because it shoals up pretty quickly especially after the NE blows we've been experiencing. It might be worth your while to check out how the beach structure changes when the dredging is over. There might be some more pockets or bars where there were none before. Or, just the opposite can happen. Let's see where the outer bar decides to form to determine if that stretch is going to be a good high tide or low tide spot.
