The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for any proper surf. There are no real standouts, just a whole lot of small, weak energy and choppy conditions. The best you can hope for is a few small, clean windows, but nothing with any punch.
We kick things off on Tuesday the 4th of August with a tiny 3.6ft SSE swell at Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach) but it’s onshore at 9 mph, combined energy is only 134, and it’s just a messy 7-second period. Not worth a paddle.
Wednesday the 5th is even smaller, dropping to 2ft, with cross-onshore winds. Choppy and weak.
Thursday the 6th of August shows a slight glimmer. The morning gives us a 3ft SSE swell with a light SSW cross-offshore breeze at just 6 mph. The combined energy is low at 66, but the water is clean. It’s surfable but very ordinary; honestly the best option within the first week, but that’s not saying much. The afternoon sees the wind pick up to 16 mph, ruining it.
From Friday the 7th all the way through the end of the window on the 19th of August, the swell barely touches 1.6ft. The combined energy stays below 34 for most of it, often in single digits. There’s a glassy moment on Monday the 10th afternoon with a 0.3ft SSE swell and no wind, but with energy at just 5, you’d need a log and a prayer.
The whole forecast is just a flat spell. For a spot like Jenkinsons that’s fairly consistent, it’s disappointing, but these gaps happen. No real swell, poor quality, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. If you’re desperate, the cleanest windows are the morning of the 6th and maybe the 19th with a cross-off breeze, but there’s no power. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if any real wind shows up.
Keep your eyes peeled for a change in the charts, but for now, it’s a long dry spell.
