The first weekend of the window period for the 11th annual Jetty Clam Jam was back on Oct. 7 and 8. That weekend happened to feel pretty much like summer – people swimming orlying on the 80-degree beach and surfers in the water without wetsuits. But the wind was sideshore all weekend, so the Clam Jam was postponed.

The jam didn’t run on Oct. 14 or 15, and each weekend in October had waves but unfavorable winds. The trend continued through all of November.
