The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the outlook for Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach). Gotta be straight with you—this one’s a tough stretch. For the first few days, there’s just not much to get excited about, and it’s a long, quiet run after that.

Things start off on Tuesday, July 28th, with a weak, short-period S swell pushing in at 4ft, but the wind is howling out of the south at 15 mph, putting a nasty cross-chop on it. The combined energy is only moderate (110), and with the water temp sitting at 73°, which is about average for this time of year, the conditions are just plain messy. Not worth a paddle.

Wednesday, July 29th, shows a little flicker of hope. The morning still looks poor, but by Wednesday afternoon, the wind swings northwest at 6 mph, going cross-offshore, and the surf cleans up nicely. Swell drops to 4ft from the SSE, period is still short at 7 seconds, and the energy is moderate (126). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That’s about as good as it gets for a while.

Thursday, July 30th, the swell drops further to 3ft, but the wind goes glassy in the afternoon with a perfect 3 mph northwesterly. The swell is still from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is weak (92). It’s clean, it’s tiny, and it’s a longboard-only kind of day. If you’re desperate, you could get a few fun ones, but don’t expect much.

From Friday, July 31st, right through to Wednesday, August 12th, the surf goes flat. There’s a massive gap of nearly two weeks where the swell barely registers above 2ft, with constant onshore or cross-onshore winds and very weak energy readings—often dropping into single digits. It’s a real blank run. The only break worth mentioning is Jenkinsons, and it’s a beach/jetty setup that’s exposed, but with no swell hitting, it’s a no-go. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a rough spell, but it happens—forecasts can always change.

The standout moment? Honestly, there isn’t one. The best you’ll get is Wednesday afternoon, July 29th, or Thursday afternoon, July 30th, for some clean but tiny waves. If you’re a beginner, the swell is never over 5ft, so it’s safe, but there’s hardly any wave to ride. For the experts, there’s nothing to get excited about at all.

This is a stretch where the kites might be more interesting than the surf, especially with the onshore winds and small chop.

Rusty, signing off.
