The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. The only spot in the picture for the next couple weeks is The Wedge (Allenhurst). And honestly, it’s a grim run for most of it, with a little spike of energy right at the end.
Right now, the water is sitting at about 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for the season. The Wedge is an exposed beach and jetty break that really needs a solid NE swell to fire, and that’s just not happening.
From Thursday the 6th through to Tuesday the 18th, it’s flat or tiny. We’re talking knee-high slop, with swell coming from the south or southeast, short periods around 5 to 10 seconds, and combined wave energy in the weak range – readings like 10, 30, or 92. Winds are all over, but nothing good. There’s a moment on Friday the 7th afternoon where it goes glassy, but the swell is only 3 ft from the south, so it’s surfable but very ordinary. It’s a long, flat stretch.
Things perk up a bit starting Tuesday the 18th afternoon. We get a 3 ft south swell, period a short 5 seconds, but with a clean, offshore WNW breeze at 15 mph. The combined wave energy hits 70 (weak). Not a standout, but it’s rideable. Wednesday the 19th morning pushes the swell to 5 ft from the south, still with a short 6-second period. Combined energy reaches 129 (moderate), and the wind is a cross-offshore NNW at 15 mph. The report calls it poor, likely because the short period and cross-off wind aren’t shaping it well for the beach and jetty setup. Still, it’s the biggest swell of the whole forecast.
If you’re keen, the window around Tuesday the 18th afternoon through Wednesday the 19th morning is the only time there’s enough water. Winds are offshore or cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the swell is short-period and weak. For the average surfer, it’s worth a look. For beginners, the 5 ft on Wednesday morning might be a bit much, but the 3 ft on Tuesday is fine. The Wedge can get crowded, so expect company.
After that, it fades back to tiny junk through the 21st. So, aim for that Tuesday-Wednesday window. Not a classic, but it’s something.
