Too good to be true?

My heart skipped about 8 beats when i saw the forecast... i havent seen anything over waist in the forecast in months. im not getting my hopes up at all though....

 

itll fall apart over hispainola just like emily did. hopefully though itll turn sooner than forecasted and itll stay in the NJ swell window

 

Irene is looking impressie, alot of her energy is already pointed towards us...get ready.

 

all aboard the hype train

 

^ what he said. I'm glad somebody saw it.

 

Yeah I can't wait for the double overhead chop

--said it best.

haha forget DOH, it's going to be 50 ft on tybee island GA! (check the forecast). I am stoked about the possibility of ECSC getting some real swell again. I might have to enter mens open shortboard class just to surf that jetty alone without 10 pounds of rubber on.

 

I'd rather the wind forecast be **** now than good. If it's saying it's going to be clean and double over head Saturday on Monday there's a very small chance that will still be the forecast Saturday morning.

If it says the winds going to be crap Saturday on Monday morning, I will take my chances it's going to change before Saturday, at least five times.

And you can drop in with 25-30 knt offshores. The waves have to be at least a few feet over head and you have to sit inside where they are jacking up but it's possible. You need wind like that to tame a huge gnarly swell and to keep it peeling on the bar instead of just dumping.

 

mfw it's already being downgraded

Ya'll should read Jeff Master's blog on a daily basis for an informed guess at what hurricanes are going to do....I see that SwellInfo added it to his Hurricane Forecast page as well:

Yeah..............were not going to get sh!t

 

At this point I would say anything north of the outer banks is probably not going to get much. Mostly because the swell will be from the south or sse and the point at Hatteras creates one hell of a south swell shadow for everything north of there.

However, we could see some solid wrap around swell north of the point and if the winds cooperate, which it looks like they could depending on how far north the storm comes, conditions could be favorable.

I'm happy but I won't get excited for now.

 

you'e gonna get whatever you get, whether forecasted correctly or not

 

i guarantee it'll be onshore and wonky. another instance of micah starting the hype train way tooo early. how'd that emily swell work out for you?

 

Worked out pretty well, actually. 2 days of chest high, glassy, warm green waves (in southern OBX).

Micah isn't hyping anything, surfline's premium outlook basically mirrors swellinfo right now. All of you that think he is doing it just for unique page visits are tripping balls, you would have checked the forecast regardless of what it said, right? So, therefore, your logic sucks. Quit crying because your northern a55 beach isn't getting any south swell action.

Pura vida!!

 

yea, i remember it being pretty good too. Wasn't epic or anything but deffinitly the best surf all summer... your an idiot

 

when waist high is "solid surf" you're the idiot.

 

This storm has some potential to be a great swell producer or a great disaster for the SE coast. I can't imagine a Cat 3 or greater hitting Charleston, or anywhere for that matter. Ya'll need to just hope for the best and let the forecast models (which vary from florida to hatteras) do their thing and wait it out a few days.
