The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at the Jersey Shore for the next couple of weeks. This is The Wedge (Allenhurst) we're talking about – a beach and jetty setup that's wide open to the ocean. The water's about 74°, which is a little warmer than usual for early September.
We start the forecast on Wednesday, 2nd September, and it's a total dud. We've got a weak 4ft easterly windswell with a short period of 6 seconds and an onshore breeze. The combined energy is only 152, which is weak, and the conditions are just poor. The rest of that week and into the next is a real bummer. We're looking at tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, with only a brief moment of clean conditions on Thursday morning, 3rd September, when the wind goes cross-off, but the swell is too small to bother. There's a long stretch here with nothing to recommend.
The first real sign of life comes on Saturday, 12th September. The morning brings a 7ft easterly swell with a 7-second period and clean cross-off winds from the NNW. The combined energy is 393 – that's a solid push. This is the highlight of the whole forecast. The swell is big enough to be a blast for experienced surfers, and it's going to be clean. The afternoon sees the swell jump to 8ft with a combined energy of 670, but it's a bit of a handful and a cross-shore wind kicks up, making it less user-friendly. It's too big for beginners.
Sunday, 13th September morning is the next best bet. The swell drops to a cleaner 5ft from the east, with an 8-second period, and it's glassy. The energy is 221, making for a fun, smooth session. The jetty will be working well, and those glassy conditions mean it'll be a joy. The afternoon gets messy with a SSE wind, so get out there early.
After that, from the 14th onwards, it's back to the flatlands. Tiny, weak swells with poor conditions rule the rest of the outlook. The 16th and 17th have some very long period (13-14 seconds) groundswells, but they are tiny at 0.6ft, so it's just a ripple.
So, the best of the bunch is the Saturday morning, 12th September (7ft, E, clean) and the Sunday morning, 13th September (5ft, E, glassy). The rest is a long, flat spell that's pretty normal for this area once summer starts to fade.
Rusty.
