Once the storm passes the swell will drop off super fast since all the energy will be moving away from us. Plus, I dont think anyone will be able to surf in 60mph offshores!
Sorry for the pessimism but this storms gonna **** us up more than it does us good.. Waves for NJ on Friday, nothing great but waves, then disaster..praying for everyone in the Outer Banks and above on the shore the next coming days. Waves will surely come in the next few storms
new jersey looks banging on saturday morning..... 1-3' overhead and semi glassy in the morning...!! winds from the east only 5mph?!
Irene..not a joke Friday and Saturday morning do look to have some fun waves for north NJ but this situation can be devastating to the area. Latest models putting landfall just east of NYC. No doubt this could be one of the worst weather events people in the area have seen. Too many folks taking Irene too lightly.
Major Hurricane Irene poses a significant threat to life and property from eastern North Carolina to New England. If current scenarios continue to play out, Irene may initially appear to be heading out to sea later this evening or Friday morning. If the storm begins interacting with an expected warm front along the Mid-Atlantic coast, the front may draw Irene back toward the coast, increasing frictional effects with land. The result would be a Category 2 hurricane with winds of approximately 100 mph making a second landfall along the southern Delmarva on Sunday morning. Several well-known computer models across the scientific community have shown Irene bisecting the Delmarva peninsula, or crossing into the Delaware Bay or even drifting into the Chesapeake Bay and slowing down. The impact and property damage potential of that outcome would exceed Katrina. The Ocean City, MD example Sustained hurricane force winds of 90 mph in downtown Ocean City, MD would breach the dune line. Waves of 20-25 feet would reach the first floors of many high end resort buildings. Surge exceeding 6 feet would inundate most of the city, with most wooden structures in downtown Ocean City destroyed. Surge traveling up the back bay would in turn be forced back onto the western side of the island once wind flow switches to the northwest, driving the water into homes and inlets. We have high confidence in this scenario, extrapolated from the HPC's map issued at 2:00 AM this morning. Ocean City, MD would breach the dune line.

Irene is fixed to put many people at risk. It will more then certainly destroy a few homes, and damage countless others. So someone please explain to me..... why am I so f*cking stokeddd!!
current scenarios indeed do not look good for many people along coastal North Carolina and northward. Take this storm serious.
OCMD was nearly destroyed in 1933 when a monster hurricane went up through the Chesapeake. That is how the OC inlet was created. Hopefully, the town fairs better this time around; although, I believe that you should assume certain risks when purchasing property on the coastline.
Try using the "google". I heard It's a pretty good source but here, I found it http://www.footsforecast.org/
While the Sat morn surf here in Northern Monmouth Cty looks great I think come Sat night this storm is seriously going to f**k this area up. Too much new building without much heed to what mother nature can do. Hoping you all stay safe and make sure to stock up on the booze!
i got plenty of ammo to shoot looters! I'm already starting to hear stories about evacuations so this might be a swell that no-one rides.
Cape May County is supposed to make an announcement at 3:00 today. Avalon already posted a voluntary evac. I think the mandatory evac could be upon us shortly. http://www.avalonboro.org/news/2011-Avalon-Summer-News/summer_news.html#Anchor-COUNTY-14210
Ya, I'll get down to Margate and they won't let me in the surf. Tomorrow looks fun, too. Traffic might be horrendous on AC Expressway... idk
I am concerned about this situation as well. If this storm does hit our areas hard, there's no way anyone will be able to get to the beaches with the restrictions.
Just surfed Manasquan Inlet, a lot of fun offshore waist high waves coming in pretty consistent too. Def building, tomorrows gona be sick early in the AM I think..waters ****ing freezing only lasted 45 minutes bareback. Oh and good luck and stay safe to all you guys, this storms gona **** **** up
Hopefully this swell shows in Monmouth County, I remember a couple tropical swells last season that were completely flat everywhere north of Belmar...
