Tropical System possibly developing

Fly a banner!!! This ones gonna send some waves to chuck town !!

 

Andrea yes and it's happened first week in June two years in a row. This would be 3wks early. Buoy is SF is 7ft @ 24 right now so I'm about to get stoked on this rounded pin step-up I scored for a nickel on consignment yesterday. If I came back east next weekend to a tropical system in mid-May after the week I'm about to have, I don't think I could ever complain again.

 

Is El Nino still a possibility?

 

I'll look forward to more accurate info and clarification, though from what I've heard over the months, we were supposed to have had one in the Pacific this past fall into the winter and it started then faded. Effects were again seen recently like sustained increased water temps - was 58-61F last few months in NorCal til recent upwelling brought it to 53F. Supposedly, it never did happen but the west coast was firing during all damn winter and still is, especially this week with the extra long period. Several sources say it's officially here now since the westerlies have sustained.

Word now is that there could be a Super El Niño next fall into the winter which bodes very well for the drought out west. I've got friends in mid-state farmland whose wells could fully dry up, costing them upwards of $20k to re-drill. Then if certain crops die off, you're losing 20-30 years of them. Rain is a good thing out west but it's been very slim to none for a couple years. I've spent most of Feb-May here and seen rain twice...barely. It's great to have 68-85 degree sun each day in East Bay but ends up being disastrous for much of the inland agriculture and ecosystem, affecting many people and their livelihoods, estates, and families.

Yeah, The Niño means weak cane season in the Atlantic but I'm starting to believe the several cats on here and outward that have advised me just to head west for good if I want sustained surf. This globe is spinning in weird ways these days braddahs. May as well go down surfing.

 

Is it typical to early season development during an el Nino? I feel like this happens everytime El Nino is mentioned.

Is there anything that is ever consistent in weather?

 

Chugachuga chugachuga chooooo chooo!

ALL A'BOARD!

 

Forecast has 7 ft Thursday

 

Don't know where they came from but this a.m had some really nice glassy ground swells with power... Nothing huge but easy thigh high +...

 

Spicoli, I'm serous here, are you surfing 10 foot already. I know I know, you tackled 8-10 foot Rhodey in your first couple sessions.

But really, have you tackled the big stuff already?

Since no one can agree what the size of a particular wave is.....

Your standard first floor room, where the wall meets the roof, is a solid 6 foot wave, well subtract 12 inches maybe.

Though people call it Overhead. It's not, really.

And El Nino sucks for the east side. Really. El Nino winters do not bode well for the east side. But what can you do.

As you can probably tell already, Spicoli, the right coast is so far behind other locales for quality surf.

Now don't get me wrong younger guys and new-comers, the east is still fun and nice, especially when you're green. But man we just don't have the quality or consistency.

But then again seeing Rincon doing it with 300 people on it ain't no good either. You can always find a peak to yourself on the east side, unless you enjoy packing together at the same jetty.

Spicloi you ever go to Oakland?

 

Must you jinx it?? Must you...???
sigh......

 

No jinx it's coming I felt it out there in water this morning... The seas are craving it....

 

I'm heading to the azz crack of Alabammy Fri morn. The waves and water temps will be high.




Yer Wackum.

 

o barry

 

Then once you are done with it, send it up our ways here to New England. Make it on a week day, so all the teenagers (human larvae) are in school being baby-sitted by pseudo-teachers (those unionized) and being totally totally useless humans.

I think we should have at least 5 or 6 separate threads about this by now.

 

Maybe Sharkhunter's mom fell off a seawall in downtown Charleston while chasing her runaway son down the street, and the ensuing tsunami impacted the nearby coastline.

 

betty do u work for the weather channel or noaa?im just curious is to why one would post a potential surf report on a website that is strictly surf forecasting.im not hating on u or anything like that,just curious as to why someone would report the forecast on here.thats what the main page is for

 

I dunno maybe I do know me and one paddleboarder were the only ones out catching anything... He got some quite long good rides on his sup breaks were kinda steep on some sets one I was on top of wave on bodyboard looking down i thought I was gonna wipe out but saved it...
