on the other hand, SI said he thought his own forecasts were undercalling it for this weekend (sunday in particular). But, the 2-4 SI ft forecast seemed much more accurate than the 4-7 ft that SL called for.

for south jerz it was pretty accurate since last wednesday.
If anything, it was a bit underestimated here, but again, it was very spot-dependent. Some beaches were much bigger, but at most spots, it was within the range expected.
The weird thing is, on Saturday the waves were easily 5-7ft on a day where the forecast was 2-4ft, and since Sunday was forecasted to pretty much be identical then I would think having actual evidence that the waves are approx 3-4ft larger than expected, that Sunday would have had an upgraded forecast, taking into account what is actually happening real time. But the forecast never changed, it remained the same even after recording much larger waves at the time of the forecast.Quote:

SI was on the low end and SL was on the high end...we wound up getting somewhere between chest to head high for the majority of the swell for VB. soon SI will be a forecasting machine with time and SL will more than likely stay the same
Looks like it... A tropical depression should be identified soon in the Eastern Atlantic... Global models show a similar path to Leslie. Got to love September.Quote:
