North New Jersey Forecast
Tim Kent •Today
Stronger southerly windswell around chest high. Watching for a cleaner sunset window.
Dawn to Midday: Fun sized southerly windswell this morning. Surf looks a bit stronger than what we have seen lately in the waist-chest high range. Winds are sideshore SSW for textured drifty conditions, but it looks pretty fun at breaks that offer some solid wind protection.
Afternoon Outlook: Winds trend more offshore SW then W before dark for improving conditions. Look for a fun window of surf to develop late afternoon. Still, best with a bit of S wind protection, but more options open up.
