Its going to be FIRING this weekend. I'm considering buying a rhino chaser for this monster NY or Cape May?
my grandpappy used to say "dont count your chickens until they hatch" I think we have all learned not to trust the long range forecast, wait until its 48 hours out, then buy that rhino chaser (if you really think you need it for a 6-8 foot wave)....
Ya i agree it gets smaller in cape may....but looking at the magic seaweed forecast is just blowing my mind.... goofy footers' paradise this weekend (minus the warm water)
well, there is your problem right there. magic seaweed is a joke. They always over call swells by a huge margin.
I have to agree with ya on that one. I remember it was predicting 19-20 foot waves on LBI for hurricane bill
OK OK...magic seaweed may be a joke, but swellinfo has a monstrous forecast starting thursday also, which is only 2 days away. Happy Veterans day!!! I know everyone tries not to jinx the swell...but this is road trip material and it needs some planning.
I'm not gonna get all amped up quite yet, but I will say it looks promising...I was out last weekend and the crowds have really dwindled...gotta love the cold!
I have noticed that a week out any forecast is a joke. Within 48 hours swellinfo is usually still a little hyped. Spot on within 24 hours. I guess it really comes down to finding an accurate wind forecast for your area, 'cuzzzzz the swell be out there this weekend, BRA
yep cape may all the way. I'm staying at a B&B. I'll be the fool with a creme' filled croissant in hand. lol, I don't think anyone is going to have to worry about crowds. A swell like this separates the men for the boys.
I usually use a combination of swell,msw and noaa's marine forecasts;all sources have it going off this weekend. see everyone in the water
Yeah CM is gonna be the place to be this weekend better start taking lonng walk on the beach at night cause after you catch one of the 300yard lefts it a long walk back to paddle out
vb perspective: 5 hours north to cape may (and possible sinus infections that may require snorting cayenne pepper) OR 3 hours south to pure frisco sweetness. I think I'm southbound again...
personally, i'll take the sinus infection & cayenne pepper habit! it's been too long since i've surfed cape may!
