The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for our stretch of coast.
Right, I’ll level with you – this 16-day run is a tough one. We’ve got a massive, dusty gap right at the start with nothing worth paddling out for. From Thursday the 27th of August all the way through to about the 6th of September, it’s a real struggle. We’re looking at tiny dribbles of swell, mostly under 2ft, and the wind just won’t get out of the way for a proper session. It’s a long wait.
Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach) is the only game in town, and it’s a tough one. This is an advanced spot, so don’t be fooled by the small numbers – it can get nasty. We’re looking at an exposed beach/jetty setup. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday the 6th of September. We get a pulse of bumpy, blown-out energy pushing in. The swell jumps to 4ft from the E, but it’s a messy windswell with a short period of 5-6 seconds and onshore wind. The combined energy is in the 100-108 range (moderate). It’s honestly more of a kite-surfing wind chop than a paddle session. The following Monday and Tuesday the 7th and 8th see the energy build further – up to 185 on the 7th and then 216 on the 8th – but the wind is junk, cross-shore and onshore. The swell is still short period or that low-quality groundswell.
Now, if you’re patient and you want the cleanest window, you hold out for the Friday the 11th of September morning. This is the best we got. The wind goes *glass* from the WNW. That’s dead clean, mate. The swell is still only 2ft from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is sitting at 104 (moderate). It’s not gonna be pumping, but you’ll get some ordinary, surfable little waves with a glassy surface. That is the only standout in the whole run. Because it’s inconsistent here, and the wind finally cooperates, it’s worth a look if you’re keen for a slide.
The rest of the run into the second week stays small and poor. The swell direction is from the SE, which is not the optimum for this break (ENE is best), so don’t expect much shape. Hold onto the 11th as the day to keep an eye on.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
