The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with ya. This is a tough stretch for Jenkinson’s (Point Pleasant Beach). This is a beach/jetty setup that’s fully exposed to the swell, but over the next two and a half weeks, there’s just nothing with enough juice and the right wind to get excited about.
The only real flash in the pan comes on Monday, August 3rd. That morning you’ve got a modest pulse of 6 ft surf pushing in from the SSE with a short 8-second period. The energy is moderate (345) but the real story is the wind – a light offshore from the WSW, grooming it up. Expect clean, lined-up waves. This is the standout window for the whole forecast. It’s on the bigger side, so this is better suited for advanced surfers; beginners will find the 6 ft size a handful. The afternoon holds up pretty well too, dropping to 5 ft with a cross-off breeze keeping things smooth, but the morning offshore is the time to be in the water.
After that Monday, it’s a slow slide into flatness. The swell dies right off. By Tuesday the 4th, the wind swings onshore from the ENE and the wave quality tanks. From Wednesday the 5th all the way through to the end of the run on Monday, August 17th, we’re looking at tiny surf – most days showing heights of 0.3 ft to 2 ft. Combined energy sits in the single digits to low double digits (weak). Even though there are some glassy or offshore windows, like on Saturday, August 8th (2 ft, glassy) and Friday, August 14th (2 ft, glassy), there’s just not enough swell to paddle onto anything worth a drive.
With the combined energy bottoming out and no real groundswell period over 11 seconds to speak of, this is a classic summer doldrums pattern. If conditions were bigger, the beach break nature of the spot would probably be more interesting for kiting, but as it stands, I’d leave the boards in the van for nearly the entire stretch. The water temp? No data on anomaly here, so call it average for early August. Save your energy for the 3rd.
