The Lowdown
Hey gang, Rusty here. Let's run down the next couple of weeks. I'll be honest, it starts off rough, and there's a whole lot of nothing before we get a little something right at the end.
The first option is a total dud. Friday, August 14th at Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach) is offering up a pathetic 0.6ft from the ESE. The morning northerly breeze puts a bump on it, and the afternoon southerly makes it a mess. Just leave the board in the car.
Saturday the 15th is no better. Still 0.6ft and choppy with an onshore ENE breeze. Sunday the 16th actually builds some south swell up to about 3ft, but it’s getting hammered by a 22 mph wind from the SSE with rain. All that energy gets turned into lumpy, blown-out slop. Forget paddling – this is kite-surfing weather.
Then comes the huge gap. From Monday the 17th all the way through Thursday the 27th of August, there’s not a single decent window. No swell, or if there is, the wind is completely wrecking it. That’s a solid 10-day drought. Nothing doing.
Finally, on Friday the 28th of August, things get interesting. We get a proper swell pulse: 4ft from the ENE, with a moderate combined energy reading of 156. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the NNE, so it’s not glassy, but it's the most size we've had in weeks. This is one of the two real highlights.
The other interesting window is the next day, Saturday the 29th. The swell drops to 3ft from the E, but the wind shifts offshore from the SW. The surface goes clean for the first time in ages. The energy is weak, but the conditions are tidy. It’s small and clean, which is a rare combo in this forecast.
So, the takeaway is a long, flat wait for a couple of sessions right at the end. The 28th for the biggest waves of the forecast, the 29th for the cleanest.
Rusty.
