The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real for a second—this 16-day stretch at Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach) is looking pretty bleak. I’ve got the charts in front of me, and for the first week and a half, it’s flat as a pancake. This beach and jetty spot is exposed to the east-northeast, but there’s just no swell coming in. Water temp’s running warm, about 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you’re thinking of just floating around, fine. But surfing? Not much to work with.
From Tuesday the 11th right through Monday the 17th, we’re looking at mostly ankle-biters. Swell heights are under 2 feet for the most part, with short periods, and the combined energy is weak—staying in the single digits to the low 20s. Winds are all over, from cross-onshore to glassy, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no push. A few mornings, like Thursday the 13th, look clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but there’s nothing to ride.
Then we get a little pulse on the 19th and 20th—energy jumps to 71, which is still on the weak side, but by Thursday the 20th we finally see something called “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the first real opportunity. It’s about 2 feet of southeast swell, 10-second period, and with light offshore winds in the morning, it might be a fun little longboard wave for the advanced folks. But that’s it. After that, it’s back to the flatness. The rest of the window through the 26th is mostly poor, with a few clean moments but no swell to speak of. Energy stays in the 30s to 60s, still weak, and the direction stays southeast or east-southeast, which isn’t ideal for this spot.
So here’s the bottom line: there are no real standouts. If you have to paddle out, Thursday the 20th is your best shot, but even then, it’s a knee-high whisper. For beginners, it’s too small anyway, and for the experts, there’s nothing to get excited about. Keep an eye out for any late-season tropical trouble, but as it stands, this is a two-week flat spell. The jetty might give some shape if something pops up, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. I’m Rusty, and I’ll see you when the ocean remembers how to wave.
