The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch for anyone looking to get a decent wave at Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach). We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf. The first few days are a write-off, and honestly, it doesn’t really get much better. There’s a gap of about 5 days with no real recommendations before things get slightly interesting, but it’s a big "maybe."
The water is sitting at 74°F right now, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The first setup that even gets a sniff of a chance is on Tuesday, 28 July. The morning sees a small 2ft swell from the SE, but the combined energy is a weak 56, so it’s gutless. The real story here is the wind – it’s a light offshore from the W at 6 mph, making the surface clean. It’s surfable but very ordinary, barely a blip on the radar. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops to 1ft, so it’s barely a ripple.
Come Saturday, 2 August, there’s another tiny window. The morning has a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW at just 3 mph, keeping things clean. It’s another 2ft, 8-second SE swell, with a combined energy of 50. It’s surfable, but again, it’s very ordinary. You’ll be fighting for scraps.
The one standout, if you can call it that, is Monday, 3 August in the morning. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 122 – that’s moderate energy, the best we’ll see. The wind is a light cross-shore from the NNE at 6 mph, so it’s not too choppy. It’s still not a classic, but it’s the most energy we get in the whole 16-day window. The afternoon falls apart again with a cross-onshore breeze.
Overall, this is a flat spell for a beach/jetty setup like Jenkinsons. The water is clean on a few mornings, but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about. If you’re desperate, you might get a fun little wave on the 3rd, but don’t expect much. For now, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on the days with stronger winds.
Stay patient, mates. The forecasts can always change.
Rusty.
