    Wind advisory tomorrow?

    What's up with the weather reports talking about 50 mph gusts? How can the waves be clean with such high winds? Is it going to be a good surf day in del-oc?

    The swell from these winds have the potential to create epic surf.

    I watched it go from solid chest to head high to knee high in 3 hours.

    straight offshore = clean
    Straight offshore @ 20-30 = clean but tough to paddle in this morning and spray in yr face

    I wouldn't exactly say "epic"...Its been a long time since there has been "epic" surf in OC.

    my guess is hes saying these raging offshores can generate epic surf in Madiera or Morocco or some other place that this thread doesnt relate to.
