The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here.
Honestly, looking at this stretch, it’s a quiet one for our stretch of coast. We’ve got a long, flat spell on the cards. For the next week and a half, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves, mostly under 2ft, with the odd pulse of energy that just doesn’t have the size behind it. The swell energy is bottomed out, with values mostly in single digits, just weak (4 to 16). It's going to be a lot of staring at a lake-like ocean.
The first real pulse of something surfable arrives on Tuesday, August 20th. The morning is looking glassy at Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach) with a light offshore breeze, and while the swell is small at 2ft from the southeast, the energy jumps to moderate at 152. It won’t be spectacular, but it’ll be clean. That afternoon stays rideable, and the wind stays manageable. The water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 77°, so the wait won’t be a cold one.
The best of the bunch looks like it's shaping up for the end of the window, around Saturday, August 23rd. The morning has some clean 3ft surf from the SSE, but it’s the afternoon that catches my eye. The wind will be howling at 19 mph, but it’s a cross-shore, which will keep the lineup from getting completely torn up. The swell period is a short 6 seconds though, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and not have much push. It’s still the biggest, most consistent looking surf in the whole run, so if you’re desperate, that’s your window.
Before that, on Wednesday, August 27th, we finally see some proper swell energy building. The combined energy hits 201, which is strong, but the swell height is only 2ft, meaning the power is there but the size just isn't. That morning will be glassy, making for a fun, small-wave session for those on longboards or fish. It's a sign things are starting to wake up, even if it's just a tease.
All in all, the long-range stuff is promising but less certain. For now, keep your standards low and your patience high. The surf will be small, but the clean windows we get will make up for it.
Rusty out.
