if you cross-reference the forecast with NWS and wunderground you would see the wind isn't due to switch until the evening. can't always rely on the summary.

the front is draped right over the mid atlantic today, so winds are a little tricky. For central nj, we might not see that distinct offshore shift till early evening.
Take a look at the Swellinfo nearshore wind maps, which are updated 4 times per day.
We are going doing an upgrade to the wind data by this summer, which will use NWS hourly wind forecast data.

dela-where was producing clean chest to head sets this morning and just kept getting bigger by the minute, but then the wind got on it, so jersey should start seen offshore by sunset.

That would be great. Planned my day today around 5 green bars in the afternoon. It was a bit disappointing.

i think it will be fun tomorrow. 3-4' range with best spots seeing bigger sets with the optimal tides.
Keep in mind low tide is around 11am tomorrow.

I usually use weather.com to find out the hourly winds, but nws is good too.
