Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it's a grim stretch ahead for the Jersey Shore. The entire 16-day outlook is a bust. There’s not a single morning or afternoon where the surf is worth paddling out at Jenks (Point Pleasant Beach). The whole period is a write-off, a flat spell with no real energy to speak of.
We start off Sunday, July 12th and it's already a dud. Tiny, weak swell at 3 ft from the east with a shocking period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 52. On top of that, we've got a stiff onshore breeze. It's a messy, choppy scene. That sets the tone for the whole first week. The swell barely scrapes 2 ft, with periods all over the place but mostly short. The wind is a constant problem, mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface lumpy. Even when we get a few clean mornings with offshore breezes on the 15th and 16th, the swell is just too small to do anything with – we're talking 1 ft to 2 ft. The wave energy is pathetic, with readings like 28 and 14.
The second week doesn't get any better. There's a tiny blip on Tuesday, July 21st in the afternoon, where the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the south. But the period is a shocking 5 seconds, wind is gusty, and it's cross-shore. The wave comment is still "poor surf conditions" and the combined energy is only 97, which is still weak. It's a complete washout.
We limp through to the end of July with nothing. By Monday, July 27th, the swell is completely flat. There's no surf to be had. For a spot that's "fairly consistent," this is a real bummer, but it happens. Sometimes the ocean just shuts down. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, leave the boards in the shed.
Rusty.
