The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the first week and a half, it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a long gap of small, poor surf, so don't bother checking the cams. From Saturday the 10th of August right through to the 22nd of August, there's hardly a wave worth paddling out for. It's a real bummer.
The only glimmer of hope comes right at the tail end of the forecast window. Our best bet, and really the only standout, is Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach) on Sunday the 23rd of August. It's not a huge swell, coming in at 3 feet from the ESE, but the period is a nice 12 seconds, which gives it some push. The real kicker is the morning wind: light offshore from the SW, which should groom the beach break into clean lines. The combined swell energy is moderate (210), so there's enough juice to keep things interesting. Just keep in mind that this spot is for advanced surfers, and crowds can be a problem here, so get out early.
What about the water? The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
So, to sum it up, we've got a lot of waiting around, but the last weekend of the forecast *might* just deliver a few clean ones. Keep your fingers crossed.
Rusty.
