Sandy all inclusive thread

ocean is angry out there today. cant imagine what sunday will be like. but you know if/when the wind switches offshore monday or tuesday, you'll know where to find me

 

i'll be spending today bringing in or tying down porch furniture & otherwise battening the hatches...just hope the opwer doesn't go out!

 

Long branch NJ Monmouth county checking in.... getting grey and light winds nothing more as of yet. Im 2 blocks in from the beach and will not be evacuating!!! \m/ O..o \m/ Hoping for another irene situation of waking up to epic conditions (crosses fingers while knocking on wood) Ill keep posting as the storm comes through on this or a new thread if its burried.

 

As excited as I am for the possibility of swell, this track is no good...could potentially ruin a lot of breaks in the mid-atlantic. Be careful, use your brains...if your inexperienced, stay out of the water! Hopefully, there will be a clean-up and the winds won't be too strong, but as of now, 40 mph offshore winds is going to be pretty tricky to get slotted in.

 

thanks guys, hoping for the best and safety is the first thought in mind for all the locals..... Please do be smart, "its not tragic to die doing something you love" but it is tragic to die being a Fu( |{ ! ng ra-tard

 

Belmar surf is small and a bit choppy Sat at 11.am. Scheduled swell to build into afternoon with winds still from East....My guess is Thursday of next week will be Prime!!!!!

Close to Victory at Sea in WB. Went down to the South End to check it. The Inlet point has some chest-high screamers breaking occasionally. The outer bar at Mase is breaking, two kite boarders on it and looks to be about 12'. The cam looks way better than it actually is.

 

my cousin lives in cocoa beach she showed me some videos at the beach.just windy as hell and some chop on the seas.i just checked the satelite outlook n it looks like it downgraded to a ts.well my cuz n pregnant neice are doin ok n theyr feelin the brunt of it right now.i live in jersey n it looks like monday through wednesday will be inland.im just questioning when will be the best period to go to the beach.my wettie got stolen a few weeks ago so i wont be surfin but il be taken flix.it doesnt look like the storm will stay offshore n give us a good period of offshore winds n swell.id like to head to the beach sunday evening if its possible.looks like its going to clean up wednesday,thursday,but im lookin for a minimum 8-10ft surf to shoot.at the beach we're lookin at some erosion and a little flooding.thanks to the continental shelf we wont be flooded out completely

 

As I predicted..........Topsail has been going off all morning..........http://www.surfchex.com/topsail-island-web-cam.php........ Clean Overhead.........Low tide playing with it a little now.

 

Still pretty nasty here at Ponce. Too much north in it. Still looking good for tomorrow and Monday with more westerly winds. All you northerners stay safe!

 

the whole island's pretty f-ed up...i've been seeing pilings from old groins i haven't seen since i was a grom.

 

Holden's going off too. I will either be up your way or down there tomorrow AM.

 

Holden was amazing yesterday afternoon and this morning. Wind went a bit psycho around noon today, but it's been solid, consistent, clean 5-8', 200-300 yard lefts — point break style. Some bomb sets up the point easily pushing 10'. Reminded me of Earl. Just about surfed out, and we've still got 3 days of solid surf left from Sandy. Glad the tropical season finally showed up...

 

Some pictures would be great as well.I can't imagine what this is going to do to our boardwalks and how much wood will be floating out there.

 

A question to those wiser than i....

I live in monmouth co and the forecast looks bleak. What are ppls thoughts on how monday will play out up in ny? I might make the trip.

Im looking at you swellinfo, lbcrew, etc.

Hit me with some knowledge.

 

Doesn't look to good for LI either if there is any kind of N to Neast wind it will becoming at the largest point of the swell. Don't think it's worth the trip. Closer we get we will know. Folly beach looks real good too wish I was down there
