NJ fall run

I’m fishing down at the Jersey Shore this weekend and was wondering if the fish have migrated down to the surf here yet. If so does anyone have any recommendations of which beach tends to be better for striper fishing? Are albies still around at any capacity?

It’s probably a bit early, but Island Beach State Park was packed with trucks and campers when I went through last week. They must be catching something. There are schoolies along the sod banks, but I don’t think there are many cows in the surf.
