The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew through what’s coming up. I’ll be honest, it’s a dry spell for the most part.
We’ve got a solid 8-day gap before there’s anything even remotely worth talking about. From the 7th through to the 19th of September, it’s all tiny, weak, and sloppy. Hardly a ripple.
The first real chance to get wet is Saturday morning, the 19th, at North Street. We’re looking at knee-high waves, about 3 ft from the south, with a light offshore wind out of the north. It’ll be clean and the water’s flat, but the energy is feeble, only 75. It’s surfable, but don’t expect much. Crowds are possible, so there might be a handful of others out for the same meager offerings.
After that, it’s back to the same story. Sunday the 20th is small and onshore. Monday the 21st gets chopped up. The only other blip comes Tuesday afternoon, the 22nd, where the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the east-northeast. The energy finally climbs to moderate at 124, but it’s messy with a cross-onshore wind. Choppy and lumpy is the name of the game.
Water temp is sitting around 78°, which is much warmer than normal, so at least you won’t be shivering while you stare at the flatness. No real standout session in the bunch. If you’ve got to paddle out, aim for the 22nd afternoon, but leave the big boards at home. Those windier days are better suited for a kite than a paddle board.
Hang in there.

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.
