North New Jersey Forecast
Rob Mitstifer •Today
Smaller blend of surf this morning. Knee-thigh high w/ building SW/SSW winds ahead of a front.
Dawn to Midday: Small S windswell and minor leftover ESE swell mix is showing a few loggable waves around the knee-thigh high for most of the better breaks. Not great and looking somewhat weak and note water temps have dropped. Semi-clean early with light+ SW winds.
Afternoon Outlook: Winds trend more sideshore, so overall not looking like very worthwhile afternoon surf.
