I believe in Karma more than jinx factors. Positive thoughts and actions bring positive results.

How many times have the models called for good waves 5 or 6 days out only to end up with nothing. I tend to look at them 1 or 2 days out, and only then as a guide. As far as Wed., I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Clean up your boards, rewax them, clean out the fin boxes, fix any dings, wipe them down, polish them, store them neatly in their bags, clean out your wetsuits, get them nice and dry and warm, and by that time it will be wednesday and the surf gods just might give their thanks!!

I have a feeling things are going to clean up nicely on wed., keep an eye on that low pressure front that is rolling through, going to produce some pretty strong winds for sure.

yes, that may be the better call. There has also been talk of some going as far north as the NJ's.

If the current is still rolling, O.C. may be bigger, but more of a pain in the butt.

A least you will not have to fight it at said spot. I am thinking of leaving work around 1pm. So able to check most spots no later then 2pm? Either way, hope it holds, should be pretty for some amount of time at least, if the offshores come around that is.

Do not put all your eggs in spot,........this might be one of those times that the swell just does not work as intended, at said spot. After seeing some of the local crew on it tonight, I will be checking another spot, as well. If the winds kick in as thought, the incoming with offshores should be making for some fine peaky action, with hollow sections all the way until dark.

That spot sure has got its far share as of late,..... more the reason to not expect it to be working this time. But this is not a jinx, I hope it does work out for all those concerned.

But it is always good to have a plan "B", just in case you give it a look and it is not what you had hoped for.

I talked to Jeff and Stoehr this afternoon, and they are going to look around as well. Some are going to the NJ's for a morning session, then head back south for the low and incoming.

If your spot is working, say something to someone. I know someone has my number.:cool:

There is so much hype around this swell, everywhere is going to be packed...

OceanCityBB

03-05-2008, 04:42 AM

I think the strong winds are going to keep most people at home tomorrow. Late afternoon should be good times though. I will be out somewhere in OC late afternoon (damn college exams).

looking on the small side with the outgoing tide this morning in delmarva. Im thinking the afternoon incoming tide is going to be the call.

It was good, but dumping slightly. Shallow uptown... Where I broke my 5 month old board after 15 minutes, on the second wave at 330 today. IM PISSED. I sure hope ole' Chauncey can do something with this one.

Definitely having some drinks tonite.

yeah I hear ya on the dumps, just walls of water not to many lines to be had but fun when they showed up

Swellinfo

tides were a big factor today. late afternoon incoming tide helped big time even tho the swell was fading.

Wish I would have stayed a little longer, it was good for about 2 hours then started to get unorganized, but after seeing some of those pics I am kicking myself for leaving so quickly.

After having been told of a/the cluster right off the jetty, early in the day, I thought twice about going there. >>>Then playing the fool, in OC,...with the current.<<< I was just happy to stay in one spot. i had thought about making a run to your spot late, and yes,.......after seeing a few of the pictures wish I had. It would have been a great way to end the day. Much thanks Mr. White for giving me that call. Glad you got your due, and hope for a score the next time as well. Very soon actually, maybe....

can someone tell me how to read a wave map.. i understand the arrows are pointing in the direction of the wind is blowing but dont know anything else

surferboi0911

03-07-2008, 03:25 AM

arrows are swell direction, the other lines show wind direction and strength...the more lines for the wind, the stronger it is

sosodel

03-07-2008, 03:46 AM

oh ok thanks.. so if all the arrows are consistently pointing toward shore then that means a pretty good swell?
