South New Jersey Forecast
Tim Kent •Today
Waist-stomach+ high ESE swell with clean conditions early. Afternoon SSW winds add texture.
Dawn to Midday: Nice little bump of ESE swell with light W winds and clean conditions early today. Mostly waist high or so, but some larger stomach+ sets at top Ocean County spots on the tide push this morning. Looks worthwhile through the morning.
Afternoon Outlook: SSW winds build through the rest of the day for poor conditions at most breaks. Target the morning window.
