    even more surprising is that frisco/hatty isn't really scheduled to get any action.. Hummmm

    all i have to say is that my old man sent me an email at 5am about the storm and told me to head south sometime between thurs and saturay. He was tracking storms wayyyy before any of us, even surfline.

    The southeast should feel some southerly swells from the current Brett forecast.
    I need to do some work on the Swellinfo backend to get the tropical forecasted winds in the model again.
    Arggg, of course I pick bad timing to go on vacation.

    One of the NOAA models (the north atlantic hurricane model) this morning is calling for a decent (4-5 foot, medium period) pulse of straight south swell for the Hatteras area filling in on wednesday and fading fast thursday.

    I'm updating the Swellinfo model right now to input the tropical storm forecast winds. Will be updated this morning.

    The only hope we have is if we can get a 2 to 2.5 swell at 10seconds for 4 hours max. Even that is wishfull thinking....go fish

    Not that it makes any difference but surfline is showing it might be solid Wed. and Thurs down south. I'm definitely not gonna head that way till its almost gametime Wednesday morning at 3 am!

    forecast updated with tropical storm forecast winds. Remember, that the forecast will likely change with each update as it is close to the coast and any change in the track will make a big difference. The latest track forecast already shows a shift to the east. Keep checking the updates. Next forecast update will be this evening around 6:00pm.

    Ya, there is a chance for sure, just depends on how the storm holds up as it moves north.

    Oh man I remember looong summers in Monmouth county lol. I swear before I got a car i would surf no more than 5 days for June July and August combined. So many days sitting on a hot beach staring at a lake. I'm glad I moved south because of that but would take the old Sandy Hook any day when it was good.

    Ya, latest forecast is based on OOZ hurricane wind model. The southerly swell has decreased for the Mid Atlantic in the latest (06Z) forecast. Swellinfo updates are based on OOZ (morning) and 12Z (evening). Hopefully you guys realize how fickle the tropical storm wind forecasts are and how much they will change with each update.

    No....I took off Friday and if it isn't big, I am going to whine and pout about how you aren't accurate and big forecasts are just marketing hype.
