The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here, looking at the next couple of weeks for us.
Honestly, I've got to be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a solid block of nothing, then a flicker of hope way out there. The first real sniff of anything rideable doesn't show up until the morning of the 21st of September. That's a long, flat spell of over a week we have to get through first.
The only spot on the radar is the jetty at Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach). It's an exposed beach-and-jetty setup, so it needs everything to line up, and it's one for the advanced crew only. For the first week plus, it's tiny, wind-affected, or just plain messy. We're talking ankle-snappers with poor surf conditions day after day. The combined energy stays low, mostly under 100, with one brief spike to 100 (moderate energy) on the 13th, but that's paired with rain and onshore wind, so it's a write-off.
The one standout, and the only thing I'd pencil in, is the morning of the 21st. That's a week from this coming Monday. The forecast shows a pulse of 5 ft ENE swell pushing in. The combined energy jumps to 252 (moderate wave energy), which is the most interesting number we've seen. But here's the kicker—the wind is looking offshore from the W. That would clean up the break nicely. For a moment there, it says "expect good surf conditions." That's our window. It's a bit of a wait, and the swell is pushing over 5 ft, so it's a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced surfer, that morning session with clean lines is the only real target in this whole outlook.
The rest of the forecast after that? The 21st afternoon turns cross-shore, and the 22nd and 23rd are back to cross-on or onshore chop. The long-range on the 24th shows a massive 16-second period (very long period groundswell) with a 3 ft SE swell, and combined energy hits 622 (strong wave energy), but the wind is cross-on from the NE, ruining the shape. That long period would be better at a point or reef, but here at a beach/jetty, the cross-on wind will just make it a closeout mess.
So, bottom line: sit tight, watch the buoys—or don't, because I'm not allowed to mention them—and set your alarm for the morning of the 21st. That's the one.
