Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down.

This is a tough one. Over the entire 16-day forecast, there’s not a single session worth paddling out for. It’s a long, flat, and poor stretch of surf. You’re looking at days of nothing worthwhile, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.

Over at North Street (beach/jetty), the best we get is on Wednesday, July 8th, with a tiny 3 ft swell out of the SSE, period of 7 seconds. The energy is weak at 95, and while the morning is clean with a light offshore breeze, the waves are just too small. It’s barely a ripple.

The biggest push comes late on Sunday, July 19th, with a 4 ft swell from the SSW and energy climbing to a moderate 182. But the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be choppy and messy. Still rated as poor.

Nothing here is a standout. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year. It’s a dead period. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off doing something else. Hang tight.

Rusty.

Information about the North Street Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for North Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at North Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our North Street surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (North Street) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for North Street may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

North Street is 2 km (1 miles) from Ocean City. If you plan a vacation in New Jersey, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ocean City. Ocean City has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
