Hurricane Irma forms in Atlantic

Sable Island will be blowing up.

 

Canada is doomed according to latest forecaste model from tropicaltidbits

 

From what I see looks to be several days of groundswells starting mid next week... sometimes those early days are the best imo

 

I was very disappointed that I did not get to see andy and pete mendia.i remember that day very very well,biggest waves I ever seen in jersey,wasnt the best conditions there was a lot of closeouts but it was thee biggest I have seen here,a real hurricane swell.

anyway I believe it was sunday,the biggest day,aug 29th I think.got there around 7 am thinking hey if the pros are coming to jers,this is going to be the place.squan was one of the few places that can hold the size,it was a solid 14' with 16'+ sets.

I started surfing like 2006-2007 so bill was like the first real swell I ever seen,i didnt have the internet back then and didn't even know other people in nj surfed lol.it would be great to get another swell like that.

and a few weeks before that we had a decent tropical storm swell,tropical storms were always good imo because most beaches can handle the size since its not a 15' swell.i surfed mb and I remember the water was at the rock wall,like u just walk down the steps and jump in the water from there,there was no sand lol.good times.i have a lot of camcorder footage from those days,the little tape that u put in the big tape to watch on the vcr.would be cool if u could convert that to a dvd or something

 

the one main thing I love about surfing is there will always be waves
I grew up street skating,and a lot of places I skated as a kid now have no skateboarding signs and other stuff like that.with surfing,there will never be a shortage of waves and places to ride them.

100 years from now people will still be surfing,while the private sector will continue to demolish the woods to build new homes destroying bmx and mx trails and jumps.only way to stop surfing is to build a marina lol,but theres still plenty of ocean left

 

Pollution? Couple places in Mexico I surfed as a kid I wouldn't dare surf now due to what is spilling out of the pipes into the water.

 

the latest GFS run. Its a bad B-movie on SYFY...taking out Manhattan. The European model...Well I planned on remodeling the beach house in NC anyway...Still hoping for a turn that takes out Nepal

 

Sept 10th.... Yikes!! Hopefully it hooks out alot sooner!

 

The early swells are usually the best looking, after a few days of pounding surf the beachbreaks can get all weird ,sand washed out ,huge backwash,closeouts, all the stuff that makes beachbreaks so interesting.

 

Irma is still a week away from us and the long range models could change a lot by then but is is worth noting that this morning's GFS models show something far worse than Sandy for NJ.

GFS 192


GFS 198

 

70 ft in atlantic city (according to magic seaweed)???? Biggest ever on east coast.

 

Noon GFS model run. Mid atlantic landfall.

 

I wonder what the 3 start rating means....but only one star later in the day when it drops to 20 feet. Gotta love MSW.

 

yeah...Trump may literally have to drain the swamp.

 

I prefer it more in the 60 to 65 ft range.

 

You knew DC was in trouble when the sea turtles didn't lay eggs up in OCMD...

 

If that actually happens it's going to completely wipe out the new jersey coastline. scary stuff.

 

Classic step-off (an oil tanker) surf.
