The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Lookin’ at the next 16 days, I gotta be honest with you: it’s gonna be a real tough stretch for the Jersey Shore. Most of the time, we’re looking at tiny, weak, and poorly-shaped waves. There’s a lot of days with next to nothing, so you’re gonna be waiting a long time for anything even worth a paddle.
First up, from Friday the 4th right through to Tuesday the 15th, it’s basically a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 feet, and the energy is in the gutter – the combined energy of all swells here is weak, often in the 20-30 range. Winds are mostly cross-off or cross-shore, but with absolutely no push in the water, it’s just flat. You’re looking at almost two full weeks of poor surf.
Now, we get a little spike on Sunday the 13th. A pulse of 6 feet swell from the ENE rolls in, but it’s a short-period windswell (only 7 seconds). The combined energy jumps up to 296, which is moderate, but with a gentle cross-onshore wind, it’s gonna be choppy and messy. Monday the 14th cleans up with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops back to 3 feet. It’s still not great.
The only real standout, and I mean the only one worth a look, is Wednesday the 16th. We get a 3 feet swell from the NE with a 15 mph offshore wind from the WSW. The combo energy is only 57, so it’s weak, but the conditions are clean. For Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach), a beach/jetty setup, this is the best you’ll see. The swell is small, so it’s manageable for a wider range of surfers, but the offshore wind will keep the faces clean. Just know that this spot is exposed, and the swell direction is from the ENE, which is fine, but not the optimum. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the only window of clean, surfable waves.
After that, the 17th and 18th we get a long-period groundswell (13 seconds) but it’s laughably small at 0.7 feet. The energy is weak. Thursday the 17th morning is glassy, but there’s no wave to ride. Friday the 18th afternoon has a bump of 4 feet but it’s windswell and the conditions are just ordinary. Saturday the 19th has a punchy 5 feet swell with a clean offshore wind, but it’s a short-period windswell again, and the energy is moderate (210). It might be a bit of fun for the experts, but don’t get your hopes up too high this far out.
So, bottom line: Wednesday the 16th is your best bet. It’s a clean, small day with an offshore breeze. The rest of the month is pretty grim. Hang tight, and check back in with me.
