Friday... Maybe some fun surf for Delmarva

New to the site, sportini? I ask this of you only because that green bar that you're salivating over will very likely change hue, and change often, between now & Thursday night.

Why, you may ask, does that green bar change like a 1960's lava lamp? I'll leave that for others to venture into. I'm not going there.

I will say that one site that seems relatively straight-up is windguru. If the west wind is on OC & AI, then you may have something to chirp about. Buena suerte.

 

That was very diplomatic, I was gonna tweak about the jinx.

 

That was a good one.

 

I think I speak for everyone when I say I'm super excited for you to come visit.

 

In addition to using the fabulous swellinfo PM asynchronous communication system to ensure there is someone else out in the water besides yourself on Friday, you may want to consider a complementary low tech method, like writing on your car windows with window markers before departing DC ("Going to OC to SURF in 2013! Woohoo! Follow me to FUN WAVES! Honk once if you're horny, twice if you're really horny!"). If you're having problems writing with the window marker, just start asking random graduating hs/college seniors for assistance. They should be able to help.

 

Your initiation has begun, young ecsurfer. I tried to warn you. Sort of.

 

I think i speak for everyone when i say you are more than welcome to stay in Delaware.

 

Ah, jeez kid.

Yah, we're all not worth shiiiite here, as you say. Just a buncha doods with no lives, hanging out with our wall hangers & subscriptions to 4 surf mags, building massive piles of kindling, waiting on 23' beach break, daring one another to go trunks-only in January on the east coast. (Sigh.)

Self-validation is a heckuva thing, eh, especially when you're crankin' it in the mirror. Who cares if you chose to work in DC. Why even bring it up. You grew up in OC? What, does that make you a tribal surfer dood?

No one says you're a kook. Well, yet. Just sayin' that 3 or 4 or even 2 days out is way too early to plan anything but a clambake. And if you, as you claim, had been lurking on this site for the past coupla years (years?! yah ok sure) you would know this. Ain't that right, newb in your NWDC condo?

So lighten up, Francis. And go watch said movie.

 

Drive down.. I think it will be worth it. It's been fun the last few days (in Monmouth)and it should be a little bigger Friday. Earlier the better as the breeze comes onshore in the afternoon.

 

Yeah, Manasquan inlet was pretty good on Monday. Had some nice sets to shred on. Hopefully Fridays just as good.

 

Friday morn in OCMD just went dead red as of now (Tues evening). And it may change umpteen times again by the time Friday rolls around.
But we're all worthless idiots, as you say, sportcoat. Hey .... let us know how the kindling pile test drives for you on Friday.

 

How about you grow a pair and say that in person. And you will find something out about yourself real quick...

 

yankee that's a good heads up on the Windguru site. Hadn't seen that one yet and if it's known to be accurate that is a good resource. I check them all. Only thing with Windguru is that it doesn't list some breaks I go to. Have seen some consistency with Surf-Forecast.com with a few breaks I've kept my eye on lately.

Good use of the Stripes quote. Aside from the entire script of My Cousin Vinny, that's my father's favorite movie line.

What do the rest of you guys use for accurate forecasting sites or methods? Charts, etc. With good days being fewer and fewer soon out East, knowing the times to hit it is of value and will save some frustration.

 

Does anyone pay attention to the kilo Joules in the waves as being predictive to quality of surf? I've noted that over the last couple weeks and it's made a difference in the quality of waves I've sought out at different breaks in the area. I wonder if much higher energy in some waves is as good or better (in different ways) than clean conditions in waves that lack significant energy. There is some good power in the waves tomorrow in RI and I'm trying to determine whether to head down there. It's not the cleanest forecast there but perhaps the net net of riding them is worth the trip for waves that will be present here but in much less power in kJ.

If you want to daydream, take a look at the kJ in some breaks this week in Australia. Doesn't hurt that they have long period 15 footers with 5mph offshores. Utopia.

 

Don't be jealous I picked the right side of the line when it comes to property taxes.

 

it's getting close to summer...

 

I was just goofin' on ya, EC. No animosity intended. Thunderstorms in the forecast for Friday, so I will stay close to home and paddle out at 130th St in OCMD, in the AM. No need to PM me - just come on out. The lineup is pretty empty up here in North OC compared to midtown (where it does break better).

Friday is the last day before OCBP starts guarding beaches daily, so you may as well surf OC.

Peace and aloha.

 

Wednesday in Delmarva wasnt too shabby!
