List of New Jersey hurricanes

There have been 115hurricanes or tropical stormsthat affected the U.S. state ofNew Jersey.Due to its location, few hurricanes have hit the state directly, though numerous hurricanes have passed near or through New Jersey in its history. About every 10 years, hurricanes approach the coastline close enough to send waves over barrier islands' dunes and into back bays. According to an estimate by meteorologist George Prouflis, the chances for a direct hit by a hurricane on the Jersey Shore each year is 1 in 200.[1]

Tracks of all tropical cyclones to pass throughNew Jerseyfrom 1851 through 2022

New Jersey has seen the remnants of several once-powerful hurricanes, some resulting in heavy damage. Nine storms dropped over 10 in (250 mm) of rainfall in the state, including a hurricane in 1940 that interacted with acold frontand dropped 24 in (610 mm) of rainfall inEwan.Numerous hurricanes that remained offshore have each drowned small numbers of swimmers.

Most of the following are tropical cyclones that passed through the state after weakening from their peak.
