Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for our local stretch.
To be honest, looking at the next 16 days for the Point Pleasant area, it’s a rough stretch. The surf is pretty much flat or blown out for the vast majority of the period. We’re looking at a long, long gap of poor to nonexistent conditions. The only real flicker of hope comes right at the very end, over a week and a half away.
Right now, and for most of July, there’s nothing doing. The first two weeks are a washout. A few days in the second week, like Monday the 14th, see a bump in energy with a moderate cross-onshore wind that just kills any shape. The swell direction is from the E, which isn’t ideal for the break’s optimum ENE direction.
The only time the waves even become “surfable” is on Tuesday morning, July 7th, with a clean, cross-offshore wind from the NNW. But the swell is weak, only 3ft from the E with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a low 80. It’s clean but it’s barely there.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak, and messy conditions until the very end.
Our one stand-out window, and the best on offer in the whole 16 days, comes on Sunday, July 19th. The afternoon session looks pretty good for a small-wave day. We get a clean 3ft SSE swell with a moderate offshore wind from the WSW. The combined energy is moderate at 80. It’s not going to be big, but it will be clean and rideable. This is about as good as it’s going to get.
For Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach), a beach and jetty setup, the long wait for a clean window is the name of the game. With the wind and swell directions not lining up for most of the run, it’s a tough go. Stick to the longboards for that final weekend session if you’re desperate for a paddle.
Alright, that’s the grim picture. Keep an eye on the long-range, things can change. Rusty.
