Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey, this is Rusty again. Let’s run through the same rundown for The Jetty in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a tough stretch ahead. For the first 13 days, there’s basically no surf worth paddling out for. The Jetty is a sandbar, and it’s facing the wrong way for most of this forecast. Thursday morning kicks off with a small 3ft wave from the SSW, but at only 5 seconds of period and an onshore wind, it’s pretty junky. The water temp sits near 72°, a touch warmer than average for the time of year, but that’s about it. The combined energy is low at 71, meaning the ocean has very little push. It’s not until Wednesday, 15th July, that we finally get a morning that could be rideable. A clean 3ft from the SSE, period 7 seconds, with a light offshore breeze from the WNW. Definitely still ordinary, but you might find a fun little closeout. Thursday, 16th July morning is the other tiny highlight — 3ft from the SSE with an 8-second period, and a light W wind keeping it clean again. Crowds can pop up here sometimes, but with this lackluster forecast, you'll have no trouble finding your own peaks. For just a bit of movement on a log or a foil, those two mornings are your best bet. Otherwise, the waiting game continues.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
