Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty again, but this time in feet and Fahrenheit for you.
The rundown is pretty grim: there’s nothing worth paddling out for until Sunday morning, July 19th. That’s nearly two weeks of flat or junk surf before we get even a single window.
The only spot that even flickers to life is The Jetty on the morning of July 19th. The swell is a pathetic 2 ft out of the south, with a short 6-second period. The combined energy is a weak 55. What saves it is the wind – dead glassy, zero breeze. That’s gold for a sandbar break, and it’ll be mirror-smooth. Water temp is sitting at 77°, which is nearly 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s really unusual, so you won’t need much rubber. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here when conditions look that clean, so get there early.
That window closes quick; by afternoon the onshore wind chops it all up. After that, the forecast goes right back to poor conditions. It’s a long dry spell, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

Information about the The Jetty Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Jetty provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Jetty can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Jetty 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 (The Jetty) 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 The Jetty 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.
The Jetty is 2 km (1 miles) from Atlantic City. If you plan a vacation in New Jersey, look for hotels and other accommodation in Atlantic City. Atlantic City has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
