The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me have a look at the charts for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead at Jenkinsons. The first real chance of a surfable wave doesn’t even arrive until the morning of Sunday the 13th, and even then, it’s more of a tease than a proper session. We’re looking at a pretty frustrating 16-day window.
We kick things off on the morning of Sunday the 13th with a small 3ft swell nosing in from the SSE. The energy is weak and the period is short, so those waves aren't going to have much push. The water temp is a very unusual 74°, which is a full 4° warmer than average for this time of year. That’s something you’d comment on in the water. Conditions get glassy in the afternoon with an easterly breeze, but the swell drops to around 3ft. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary.
The next seven days are basically a write-off. You get the odd hint of a wave here and there, but the scores are telling the true story: poor surf conditions. There is a little bump on Tuesday the 15th with a 4ft ENE windswell, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy. Even though the energy picks up a bit, the quality just isn’t there.
A bigger pulse arrives on Monday the 21st, with a 6ft NE swell. That sounds promising, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 22 mph, turning it into a lumpy, messy beast. That same pattern holds for the rest of the week.
The biggest swell of the whole period shows up on Friday the 25th of September and carries through the weekend. Swell builds from 5ft up to 7ft from the east. The energy is very strong. But—and it’s a big but—the wind is hammering out of the ENE at 19 to 22 mph, right onshore. This is a classic case of a lot of ocean energy but not a lot of surfable waves. The period is long, suggesting groundswell, which at a beach/jetty setup like Jenkinsons can break a bit straight. But that’s a minor issue compared to the wind. Honestly, for a stretch like this, the setup at this beach looks way more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing. The waves are there, but they’re going to be blown out and lumpy.
Stick with it. Forecasts change.
Rusty.
