The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the lowdown for the next couple of weeks. Gotta say, it’s a lean period ahead.
We’re starting off with a real flat spell. From now through to about the 20th of August, there’s pretty much nothing doing. Waves are tiny, energy is in the single or low double digits, and the wind’s all over the place. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions.
The only break in the mix is Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach), a jetty spot for advanced crew. For the first week, it’s knee-high slop. Maybe a little 2ft bump on the morning of the 14th from the SSE with a light offshore, but the period’s a weak 6 seconds. Not worth the paddle.
Water’s warm, though – about 77°F, which is 4°F warmer than average for this time of year. So if you’re just going for a swim, it’s nice. For waves? Not so much.
Things try to pick up a touch on the 21st of August. The morning sees a bump to about 5ft from the south, but it’s a short-period 6-second swell. Energy climbs to a moderate level, and winds are cross-off, but that short period means it’s not going to have any push or shape. More of a novelty.
The most you could hope for is around the 24th and 25th of August. Swell sticks around 3ft to 3ft from the SSE, with the period improving a little to 7-8 seconds and energy getting up there. But the wind switches onshore from the NE and ENE, blowing 15-18 mph and making it choppy and lumpy. For a beach break, that’s a mess. Honestly, this looks more fun for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only small glimmer is the afternoon of the 23rd, when a 3ft SSE swell shows up with light cross-off wind and clean surface. It’s still only just surfable, but if you’re desperate, that’s your window.
Bottom line: no standout days in this 16-day run. It’s a real dry spell. Keep the board ready, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can flip, but right now, it’s quiet.
Rusty.
