The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watching this stretch of coast long enough to know when to get excited and when to stay home. This forecast is a rough one for us, so I’ll tell you straight.
Right now, and for the next two weeks, the surf is mostly flat or junk. The only break on the radar is Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach). This is a beach/jetty setup, exposed to the swell, but it’s a fickle one. The water is sitting at about 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but nothing wild.
The first day with anything even close to surfable is Monday, August 3rd, in the afternoon. We’re looking at a 6 ft swell from the SSE with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (459). The wind is cross-off from the SW at 15 mph, which is clean, but there’s a risk of thunderstorms. It’s marginal at best, and the tide might be a problem. This is for advanced surfers only – that 6 ft is pushing it for beginners.
After that, it’s a long, grim stretch. From Tuesday, August 4th all the way through to Sunday, August 16th, the forecast is consistently poor. The swell drops to knee-high or smaller, with short, weak periods. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-off, but the swell energy is pathetic. The best we see in that whole time is a 4 ft swell from the ENE on the morning of Sunday, August 16th, with moderate energy (102), but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Not worth paddling out for.
The only slight glimmer is Monday, August 17th in the morning. We get a 3 ft swell from the east, period of 6 seconds, with gentle cross-off winds from the SSW. The combined energy is weak (61). The notes say “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s about the best we can hope for in this whole 16-day window, and it’s still just a tiny wave.
Honestly, with so little swell and such poor quality, the setup here is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Don’t hold your breath. The forecast can change, but for now, it’s a washout.
Rusty.
