The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cookin'.
Honestly, it's a tough start. We've got a lot of flat, small conditions with messy wind, so don't rush to wax up. The saving grace is a big slug of energy that shows up way down the line.
Through the 10th and 11th, it's tiny: 1ft lines at Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach). The combined wave energy is weak, around 13 to 24. The only highlight is the wind going glassy on Friday afternoon (September 11th), but with no size it's just a pretty, flat ocean.
That flat spell rolls on through the 13th of September. Sunday morning we see a little bump to around 2ft, but it's a short-period windswell with a period of just 5 to 6 seconds, so energy is still low at 51 to 56. The wind goes offshore Sunday morning and glassy again that afternoon. It's surfable if you need to wet a line, but it's very ordinary.
A long gap follows from the 14th right through the 22nd. Most days show the swell between 0.5ft and 2ft, with nothing worth paddling for. The wind is a constant issue, usually cross or cross-onshore.
Now, here's the real story. Late in the forecast, it gets interesting. On the 22nd of September (Tuesday), a solid swell from the E arrives. The combined energy jumps to 336 and the swell hits a solid 6ft. The big catch: the wind is howling onshore at 20 to 25 mph and the period is a short 7 seconds. It's powerful but a total mess. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing at a beach/jetty spot like this.
The true standout is the 23rd of September (Wednesday morning). We get a solid 6ft swell from the E with a moderate period of 10 seconds. The combined wave energy is a strong 529. That's proper power. It's still onshore at 25 mph, so don't expect perfection, but the raw size is finally here. It will be lumpy and rough, but there's plenty of juice if you're an advanced surfer looking for a battle.
The 24th and 25th of September see the swell drop back, but it stays onshore. It's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but that late window on the 23rd is our best shot at real waves in this whole 16-day stretch.
Stay tuned.
Rusty.
