The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s on the table for Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach). It’s a long, quiet spell ahead, no sugar-coating it. The water’s a touch warmer than average for the time of year, sittin’ right around 75°.
From Monday the 24th through Monday the 31st of August, we’re starin’ at tiny swell, barely hittin’ 2ft with combined swell energy mostly down in the 30-100 range (weak energy). There’s a clean moment on the morning of Wednesday the 26th with a glassy wind from the west, but with only 1ft from the east-southeast, it’s just not enough to paddle for. The wind gets ugly again after that.
There’s a bump in the energy around the 1st of September, gettin’ into the moderate range near 190, but the wind is onshore and the conditions are poo. By the 4th of September, the swell energy hits the strong range over 400, but with a screaming 28 mph cross-onshore wind and rain, it’s a straight-up mess. Wave heights hit 6ft to 6ft on the 5th of September, but again, that wind from the northeast and east-northeast is just hittin’ it sideways, makin’ it lumpy and choppy. Honestly, that setup looks more like a kite session than a paddle session.
So what’s the pick? There ain’t a true standout. The cleanest window is Wednesday morning the 26th with glassy conditions, but you’d be fightin’ for a knee-high wave. If you’re keen, the morning of Friday the 28th of August has clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the southwest and 2ft from the east-southeast – still very ordinary, but at least it’s surfable. Lookin’ further out, around the 7th of September, there’s a hint of 3ft from the east-southeast with light cross-on wind, but it’s still only marginal. It’s a dry run, but that’s nothin’ new for this area. Forecasts can turn around.
Rusty.
