The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and this one's a tough report to write. The next couple of weeks are looking flat, so save your energy for a paddle somewhere else.
The forecast starts on Friday, July 31st, and it's a dead calm. The first chance at a wave comes on Monday, August 3rd, at North Street, a beach/jetty break. That morning we see a bump to 5ft from the SSE, but with a short 8-second period and a cross-shore wind from the SSW at 16 mph, it's going to be messy and choppy. The wave energy is moderate (259), but the conditions are called poor. By Monday afternoon, the swell jumps to 7ft from the S, but with a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 19 mph, it becomes a lumpy, blown-out mess (777 combined energy). That size is for experts only, and the wind is ruining it.
The rest of the first week, from Tuesday the 4th to Sunday the 9th of August, is a parade of tiny, weak swells. Most are under 4ft, with short periods and persistent cross or cross-onshore winds. The combined energy is low, mostly in the 35 to 77 range, and it's all "poor surf conditions." The wind just won't let up.
The second week, from the 10th to the 15th of August, is more of the same: ankle-to-knee high dribble, mostly under 3ft with periods as short as 4 to 6 seconds. The only tiny bright spot is the morning of Wednesday, August 12th, when the wind goes light from the NNE, giving a clean, glassy texture. But the swell is a pathetic 2ft from the S with a 6-second period (38 combined energy). It’s clean, but there’s almost nothing to ride.
This is a total blank run. No standouts, no quality windows. The entire 16-day forecast is a washout for surfers. If you have a kite, you might catch some fun on the 3rd when the wind is strong, but for a paddle surfer, this is a good time to hang out on the beach. This kind of flat spell is more normal for this area, so don't hold your breath.
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.
