The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks here at the Jersey Shore. I’m focusing on Jenkinson’s in Point Pleasant Beach. To be straight with you, it’s a pretty quiet run for the most part. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, around 74°F, so nothing unusual there.
We start off with a real flat spell. Friday the 31st through to Sunday the 2nd of August is a write-off. Tiny waves, cross-shore wind, and a real lumpy, choppy mess. The combined energy is barely there, just 59 on Friday, and it doesn’t get any better. The weekend is a total loss for a wave.
We get a bit of a pulse on Monday the 3rd of August, but it’s a tricky one. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the SSE, with a short period of 7 seconds, and combined energy ramps up to 535. That’s a moderate energy push, but it’s coming with a risk of thunderstorms and a stiff cross-shore wind. The report calls it marginal, and honestly, with that wind, it’s going to be a messy, lumpy affair. Only for the advanced crew who don’t mind a fight.
After that, it’s back to tiny, near-flat conditions for the rest of the run. Tuesday the 4th through to the 15th of August is mostly small stuff under 2 ft, with occasional clean windows from a cross-off or offshore breeze, but the swell just isn’t there. The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of Friday the 7th of August, with a tiny 3 ft S swell, light wind, and clean conditions. The energy is weak at 56, so it’s just a knee-high dribbler, but it’s the most surfable moment of the whole outlook.
Forget about any standout sessions. The consistent pattern here is weak, short-period swell and choppy onshore winds. This stretch looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle, honestly. If you’re desperate for a wet suit rinse, the cleanest windows are on the 7th morning, but keep your expectations on the floor.
