Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach) – that’s our only spot on the menu for the next 16 days, and I gotta say, it’s looking pretty grim. There’s a real gap of surf here. The first few days through to about the middle of next week are offering almost nothing rideable. From Friday the 10th through to Monday the 21st of July, the waves are tiny, weak, and mostly blown out by onshore or cross-shore winds. The first couple of mornings have a little clean window, but the swell is just too small to get excited about – we’re talking 1 ft to 1 ft at best. The combined energy is weak, often in the teens or low thirties (35 to 59). It’s a long, flat spell.
The water temp is sitting at 71° with a tiny anomaly of 0.7°, so it’s average for the time of year. Not a factor.
The only real blip on the radar comes around Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd of July. We get a bit of a pulse from the SSE, pushing up to 4 ft. That’s a moderate bump in energy (177 to 191), but the wind is a problem. It’s a cross-onshore breeze from the ENE at 15 to 18 mph, which will make it choppy and lumpy. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a weak, wind-affected swell. For advanced surfers, it might be worth a look if you’re desperate, but it’s not going to be pretty. The spot is a beach/jetty setup, so with that wind and modest swell, it’s honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session.
After that, the swell drops straight back to nothing by the 24th, with a tiny 0.3 ft groundswell on the 25th, but the wind is still cross-onshore. There’s no standout session here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. Just one of those flat spells for the Jersey coast.
