The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's chew the fat on what's goin' down at Jenkinson's (Point Pleasant Beach) for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest, it's a pretty bleak picture. We're staring down a long dry spell of small, messy surf before a couple of windows that might just be worth a look.
For the next little while, the ocean is flat and not playing ball. We've got weak wave energy, barely breaking 78 (combined energy), with a short period NE swell pushing 4ft but it's all cross-onshore and choppy. That's a lot of work for nothing. This poor run looks set to carry us to the end of August. The water's warm though, a notable 78°F, which is a good 5°F above the norm, so your wettie won't be the issue.
The only real standout in the whole 16-day outlook is the afternoon of Wednesday, September 2nd. That session's got a clean offshore breeze out of the northwest at 9 mph, which is gonna lay that surface down real nice. The swell is tiny, only 2ft from the SE with a period of 10 seconds, but the wave energy is expected to bump up a touch to 62 (combined energy). It ain't gonna be epic, but those offshore winds will make the most of what's there. It's a beach/jetty break, so don't count on perfection.
For the advanced crew, the morning of September 2nd might be a cleaner call with that 12 mph NW breeze, and the energy is a notch higher at 68. Still, it's small and weak. The other offshore mornings, like the 24th of August, are just too small to get the heart racing.
Honestly, for most of this stretch, with a bit of wind and hardly any swell, this spot looks more like a kiteboarder's playground than a surf break. The crowds here are often a factor, and when the only decent window shows up, you can bet your bottom dollar it'll be busy.
So, bottom line: it's a quiet two weeks. The only glimmer of hope is around the 2nd of September. Don't get your hopes up too high. Forecasts can shift, but right now we're on a waiting game.
Rusty.
