The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Look, I gotta be honest – over the next 16 days at Jenkinson’s (Point Pleasant Beach), we’re staring down a long, flat spell. There’s nothing in the water that’s gonna get your heart pumping. It’s a 16-day gap of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions, with no real swell to speak of. The water temp is sitting at 75°F now, which is about 4°F warmer than usual for early September, so it’s much warmer than average.
The first few days are a total snooze. Tuesday the 8th has a tiny 1ft swell with a 9-second period, but it’s cross-off in the morning, then turns to a choppy cross-shore in the afternoon. The combined energy is only 26, so it’s weak. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th are just as bad – 0.7ft to 1ft waves with light offshore winds, but the swell’s too small to ride. The energy barely hits 15. Friday the 11th through Monday the 14th are all poor surf, with onshore or cross-on winds, and the swell never gets above 2ft. The energy stays weak, peaking at 53 on Monday afternoon.
Tuesday the 15th has a slight bump to 3ft, but it’s a short-period 5-second windswell from the east with onshore winds, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy hits 67 – still weak. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th are back to tiny 0.7ft to 2ft waves, some clean mornings, but no push. Energy is between 8 and 63.
Friday the 18th afternoon is the only time the forecast says “surfable waves,” but with a 4ft, 4-second windswell from the north and moderate offshore wind, it’s ordinary. The energy is still only 62. Saturday the 19th gets a bit of energy (129) with a 4ft, 6-second swell from the NE, but it’s a fresh cross-onshore wind, making it lumpy and poor. That’s the only day with moderate energy, but the conditions are terrible.
The final week from Sunday the 20th to Wednesday the 23rd is a total fade-out. Tiny 1ft to 2ft waves, weak energy, onshore or cross-shore winds. Not worth paddling out.
Bottom line: There are zero good surf options in this 16-day window. The whole stretch is a bust. Jenkinson’s is a beach/jetty spot exposed to the ENE swell, but the swell just isn’t there. With the persistent tiny, weak swell and onshore winds, it’s looking more like a kite session than a paddle session if you’re desperate. Don’t hold your breath – forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.
Rusty.
