same deal with # 44025, south of Islip. all we have left on LI is # 44017 south of Montauk. maybe the government should cut back just a little bit on the space program to get these buoys up and running again on mother earth. what a bunch of screwballs. just thinkin' out loud. you know, before it becomes a safety issue.
I confirmed today that the buoys are out of service with no timeline for restoration of service due to the lack of funding due to the sequestration cuts. Got this info via twitter directly from a NOAA meteorlogist who tweeted this out: GarySzatkowski 1:33pm via Web Hey, no one is happy about it. No timeline due to sequestration. Gift that keeps on giving. ------- So, write or call your Congressman (or woman). Ridiculous
Thats really unfortunate I used the buoy all the time. Im suprised no one else has brought it up or b*tched about it.
I was *****in' about my two buoys a while back, two threads on the subject: http://www.swellinfo.com/forum/show...ocks-of-the-Sea-and-NOAA-s-Budget-Shenanigans Is this a third world country yet, or what?
Has anyone else noticed 44065 going intermittently wacko the last few months? Today it is once again delivering strange readings. All other regional buoys are reading 4-5 feet at 5-6 seconds. 44065 is reporting 3 feet at 11 seconds. If you go back through the mornings regional readings, 44065 has intermittently reported this. It's at 5 seconds, then at 11 seconds, then back at 5. 44091 also has the occasional 11 second reading. These readings are due E while the short period swell is due more S. So what do you guys think? Is there a stealth underreported E swell? Or are 44065 and 44091 reporting erroneously?
the gov't is spending all their money on chem trails and vaccines to make us retarded. No $ left over for buoys :/
44065 Erroneous Report, 9/9/2016. 2.6 feet at 17 seconds ESE. All other local buoys 3' at 8-10." Preliminary surfcam check reveals no signs of 17-second waves. Possible meteor strike near buoy? Anybody out there seeing some surprisingly solid sets?
This morning in Delaware there was a new swell showing unrelated to Hermine. Long period, ESE swell direction, came in three wave stomach high sets like it was from a distant source. Really fun stuff, would have snapped a picture but the beach had nbiting flies. Some of the buoys off Delmarva have been reporting 17-18 second swell overnight. 44089 and 44099 http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=44099
Good to hear Mitchell, thanks for checking in. I took off to go camping... just wondering how much surf I am really missing, haha. It's a disease.
I think there has just been a fetch of strong SE winds down sound around the Bermuda high the last couple of days, pushing some SE swell toward the mid atlantic that filled in overnight. You can kind of see it:
The flies were THICK in south Jerz the other morning. Not those green head bastards but little black ones that look like houseflies but bite. My board had at least 50 on it after walking over the dune.
