so every morning when theres waves i check a few of the reports, and lately ive been having a problem because some of the reports are just dead off on a regular basis. i hate the bs they give when its flat or ankle high and they are like 'wellllll theres a little longboard wave out there' and when its really big like head - overhead+ and they dont even bother to mention that its chopped to ****.. they just say ridable. nonetheless a im grateful that there are reports for me to check. but does anyone care to rank the reports in order of how accurate they are on average? (or suggest a better one for me to check) heres what i think (i guess this is particular to monmouth county, nj) 1. swell info D always dead on and reports are changed when conditions change) 2. duke storm (os the whole good but some of the reporters are kinda kooky) 3. surfline buoy readings & cams 4. magic seaweed 5. eastern lines phone report 6. spellbinders phone report 7. wetsand.com
if you can get a better report on magic seaweed than by CALLING eastern lines then something is whacked.
swellinfo (obviously) surfersupplies.com (ocnj) buoyweather.com (size/period/direction) weather.com (hour to hour wind dir/speed) i know swellinfo can give all of that butttt i like second opinions nonetheless.
Just curious Micah, why has the wind direction indicator been reading N/A for the past month? Velocity is reporting, but direction is not.- Post answer: Gotcha. Thanks Micah.
wind for ocean city, md is being taken from buoy 44009. And, the buoy directional measurements is broken. If this doesn't get fixed, I can switch the current wind to one of the coastal delaware stations.
