The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach). We’re looking at a long, long dry spell. The first time we see anything even remotely worth talking about isn’t until Thursday morning, September 3rd, and even then it’s a struggle. The waves are just small, and the energy is weak. The combined energy of all swells is only 190 (moderate), but the real kicker is the conditions. You’ve got a risk of thunderstorms around, and the swell is a weak 3 ft from the ESE with a short period of 9 seconds. It’s surfable, but don’t expect anything special.
That bleak run keeps going. We’ve got almost a week of nothing but tiny, weak surf. The wind is mostly cross-off or light, but there just isn’t any power behind it. The water temp is a nice 73°F with a slight anomaly of 2°F, so it’s a little warmer than average for this time of year, which is a nice touch for the long paddle out for nothing.
Finally, we get a flicker of hope on Wednesday morning, September 9th. This is the one standout in the whole outlook. The swell jumps up to 4 ft from the SE, with a 12-second period that gives it some real push. The combined energy hits 371 (strong), and the wind is glassy at 3 mph from the SSW – that’s cross-off and clean as a whistle. For a few hours there, it's going to be good. The size is manageable for most, but the longer period means it’ll be a bit more lined up than the usual short-period slop. Expect bigger gaps between sets, but the waves that do come will have some shape. Crowds are often a problem here, so get out early.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Thursday, September 10th, has a clean but weak 2 ft morning, and then it’s just a slow fade-out. The wind picks up strong by the end of the second week, but the swell is all over the place – a choppy 4 ft from the NNE on Saturday, September 12th, but with a terrible period of just 5 seconds. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine.
So, the bottom line: this is a two-week forecast with a massive gap at the start. The only real chance to get a decent wave is the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. That’s your one shot. For the rest of it, you’re better off doing something else.
Rusty.
