The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach) for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s going to be a quiet run. The wave energy is low to moderate, and onshore winds are the main problem. The first week through the end of July doesn’t give us anything worth getting wet for – small, short-period swell with mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes making the surface poor and choppy. The swell energy mostly sits under 200, often in the 50 to 150 range – weak pulse. Water temp is 74°, about normal for the time of year.
Then there’s a big gap. From the start of August through August 9th, the swell stays tiny – often under 2ft – and the wind keeps things messy. One day stands out: Monday, August 3rd morning. Swell hits 5ft from the SSE with a 9-second period – that’s the most energy in the whole run, with combined energy hitting 362, which is moderate to strong. Wind is light cross-onshore from the NNE at 6 mph, so not perfect but the best of a bad bunch. This is a beach/jetty spot, exposed to the swell, so that 5ft is going to be too punchy for beginners. The direction (SSE) is off the optimum (ENE), so the waves won’t be well-shaped. Still, if you’re an advanced surfer and itching for something, that Monday morning is the only time the swell has any proper size. After that, it drops back to near flat.
So the entire 16-day window is quiet. There’s a week-long gap from late July into early August with hardly any surf, and even the one potentially okay morning on August 3rd is just marginal. It’s one of those stretches where forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the car and watch the charts. If that swell had come from ENE with 5ft, we’d be excited, but it didn’t.
Rusty.
