The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a flat spell to start, I won’t lie to you. We’ve got a long stretch of very poor, small surf ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for the first week or so. Honestly, the whole outlook is one of those “check back later” deals.
We’re looking at North Street (beach/jetty), and the first week is a write-off. From the 10th through to the 21st of September, it’s all poor surf conditions. The swell stays tiny, mostly under 2ft, with short, weak periods and messy wind. The only flicker of something happens on Sunday the 13th morning – a 3ft SSE swell, but it’s only a 5-second period and the wave energy is moderate (114). The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the waves will be weak and small. Honestly, it’s not worth paddling out for.
Then, from the 22nd of September Tuesday, things get interesting but not exactly friendly. The swell picks up. Tuesday morning we see a 5ft E swell with a 7-second period, and the energy jumps to moderate (279), but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. Tuesday afternoon the swell hits 5ft from the ESE, period 8 seconds, and the combined energy shoots up to strong (542) – that’s a proper pulse of energy. But the onshore wind makes it lumpy. Wednesday the 23rd keeps that energy going (386 and 282), with 5ft to 4ft ESE swell, but again, that onshore breeze ruins the quality. This is all for more experienced surfers, as that 5ft, with onshore chop, will be a handful. The long-period ESE swell on the 24th and 25th keeps some energy around (200 to 160), but it’s still cross-shore or onshore wind.
Let’s be straight – there’s no standout day in this window. The swell on the 22nd and 23rd has the most energy, but the wind is just too bad for a clean, rippable wave. It’s a real shame because the energy is there, but the conditions are a mess. For a beginner, it will be too big and choppy. For anyone else, you’d be better off checking if the kite’s pumped up. The only silver lining is that North Street is consistent, so this kind of blank run isn’t the norm. Forecasts can change.
Rusty out.

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.
