The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. The next couple of weeks are a tale of two halves – a long, flat, frustrating start, and then a late pulse that might just save the run. Don’t get your hopes up too early.
For Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach), the first real action doesn’t come until Wednesday the 16th. Before that, it’s mostly tiny waves – 0.6ft to 2ft, with poor conditions and weak energy. There are some clean mornings with light offshore wind, but the swell just isn’t there. Saturday the 12th is glassy but with only 1ft of swell, it’s a skunk session.
The mid-week pulse on the 16th and 17th brings windswell up to about 4ft from the ENE, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and pretty ugly. The combined energy reads around 112 to 121 (moderate), but it’s not really surfable in a clean way. This stretch looks better for kite-surfing than paddle surfing.
Now for the real deal – Monday the 21st of September. Morning glass, calm wind, and a 5ft ENE swell with combined energy hitting 190 (moderate to strong). It’s a short-period swell again, so the waves will be a bit bumpy and might close out at a beach break, but glassy conditions mean they’ll be clean. You’ll find some shoulder-high plus sets if you’re patient.
And then Tuesday the 22nd is the best of the run. Morning glass with a light ESE breeze, and the swell jumps to about 6ft from the ENE, combined energy at 312 (strong). That’s overhead for a lot of folks. Again, it’s a short-period swell, so expect some fat sections and close-outs, but on a clean day like that, you could score some fun ones on a bigger board. This is the session to watch for.
So yeah, a lot of down time, but the final Monday and Tuesday look legit. Forecasts can change that far out, but as it stands, I’d be marking that Tuesday morning on your calendar.
Rusty.
