The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a hard look at what's coming down the line. Right now, there's basically nothing to get excited about, and it's a real bummer.
The surf is going to be a struggle for a good long while. We have a lengthy gap starting right now with no decent waves to recommend. For the first week, it's mostly tiny, weak junk. We'll see the odd bump in height but with messy, onshore winds and short, weak periods, it's really not worth a paddle.
Let's start with the only real flicker of life we get, and it's a long way off. The best, really the only standout window, is around Thursday, September 17th. But even that's a stretch. The morning of the 17th at Jenkinsons (Point Pleasant Beach) has some small swell showing about 3 feet from the ESE with a 7-second period. The combined energy is only moderate at 108, so it's not exactly pumping. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, which will keep the surface nice. Then, that afternoon is the real tease: the wind goes glassy from the SW at 3 mph, and the wave height stays at 3 feet from the ESE, but the period bumps to 8 seconds and the energy picks up a bit to 130. It's described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but with glassy conditions, you might find a couple of fun, clean little ones. It's an advanced break though, and the water temperature is about 73°, feeling a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The rest of the period is a total write-off. There are small pulses on Tuesday, September 15th, and Wednesday, September 16th, but they're plagued by short, weak periods and crummy wind directions. Do not bother.
This is a tough run for the area. If you absolutely need to get wet, keep an eye on that Thursday the 17th for a possible glassy morning or afternoon session, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
