SwellInfo vs Surfline

Does anybody just go to the beach to see what's up anymore? Thank haysuz for this interweb thingy. I understand most don't live by the beach and can't check it on a daily basis. Put on the weather channel, put on the news and watch the national weather forecast. Unless your going to travel on your surfin-safari, I can see that any web site can be helpfull in getting the stoke up, but better book that trip a week in advance. If your that fortunate. Or pro, then it really doesn't matter. Does it?
P.S. I like this site for it's totally *****ing people and the wave graphs and Betty.

 

Kidz these days? They only surf when their computer tells them to. I listen to the voices in my head. Sat. will be flat so go ahead and sleep in. I'll give a report around 10:00.

 

Sorry for the add on... f'n web site

 

Don Jon, I check it at the beach. It was a great time when these surf predicting websites didn't exist. Far less surfers in the water because you had to use knowledge of weather patterns and buoys. Back in the day, almost all people checked it at the beach. Sometimes you come over the dunes and it's firing. Sometimes you get skunked. You learn conditions by actually checking them with your eyes and knowing the systems which created them.

I truly wish that many of these surf forecast sites didn't exist. It would eliminate the crowds by a huge percentage. Technology has killed surfing. This includes facebook and gopros.

 

Swell info is by far more accurate.

Nothing is ever perfect- that's why you have to use a few different sites and add the wave cam.

Belmar has a good cam at the surfers view . Com

Also- Belmar is the best break around so you don't have to worry too much. It's always chest hi in Belmar

I personally like this site cause I can quickly look at data and not have to read a paragraph of jibberish. Look at the swell size, period and direction and the wind. Then I check the buoy. Then the cam for a visual at first light.

After a while of watching the bouy and then seeing what that translates to at the beach- you can just check the bouy and know exactly what's up.

It takes time- mainly just learning to add it up. There was a time when the only option was really the ol weather radio...

Anyways- like I said- you will have not problems since you live in Belmar (best break on the east coast)

 

10 seconds will have the waves double up and wall off a bit i think it'll be around waistish, i'm not saying 4 feet

 

Amen to that, man!!

 

o barry

 

truth: i use swell info for the color coordinated graph. I'm not that smart otherwise. the graph is easy. when i drag my cursor over it and it says what time its going to be waist high and green, oh man thats some high tech stuff. mind blown.

i use surfline for their cams sometimes.

 

I thought a dingo got you wayne. Or wished that at least

 

Dude, you're asking Swellies if SI or Surfline is a better "go to" predictin' site? Did you post this same question on Surfline? If you did, what was their response? And if not, why not?

Go to Surfline for surf predictin'...come to SI for advice on drugs, employment, girls with STD's, grilling and drinking.

You're welcome.

 

I go to surfline for all surf news,but here and msw for surf reports.surfline sucks with their reports,it will say 1-2ft poor conditions,and u check the cam and its blowing offshore with 3-4ft barrels.when surfline says "good" conditions,that usually means the swell of the decade.i don't think I have ever seen them give nj an "epic".

msw sucks too with their forecasts,si is much better,but betty is super better.so yea just go to one of her threads and youll know everything u need to not know

 

They've all been off point for like the past 10 swells Cep doggy dawg

Make friends with your buoys..they will tell you when the one true God King Lucifer is about to penetrate the New Jerseyian beachs and bless the faithful followers with juicey wet tubes or toobs

All hail King Lucifer the one true GOD

 

The forecasters at surfline could nail every swell to the tee, but being general allows for some interpretation and keeps the kooks guessing, they do this on purpose as a favor to the "real" surfers who know what to look for. Such is my conspiracy Theory on surfline forecasting...

 

^^ +1 good one Seen

Kinda hoping a dingo rips his gonads apart.

 

Having a great summer, waynetheinsaaane. Been a bit slow around the Forum without your inflammatory instigating. Now that you're 'back' (whatever the eff that means), your twisted disciples Short EyesPhonics & MISthing can get back on board your bandwagon of perversion.

Is that program you're referring to the one where you take children into your windowless white van of duct tape & doom & play the bongo on their poor behinds, or do you just play NAMBLA half-naked Twister set to music in the name of Satan, er, your gawd, o twisted one.

 

Could you sorta go away again?

 

Much better here without your insaaane self-promotion & twisted freaky jihad mutterings.
