TS Jose forms in Atlantic

looks like you got your work cut out for you Forecaster Betty!

 

And now theres another one blowing up in the Gulf.

 

Long range GFS has it run up behind Irma then loop back.

 

If Jose catches up with Irma next week, will they be making little beaner babies?

 

Jose looks to stay pretty far out from land from the new forecast models. should send swell the week after irma hits your East Coast beach

 

yes, and it will rain tacos.

 

That storm is sending waves to the EC right now, may be a few days to get there.
figure out distance to say Folly Beach 1300 Miles, divide by 40mph (speed of waves at 10 second period)=32.5 hours. However, bottom drag will cut a lot of that speed off once on continental shelf to 20 mph; that adds 16 hours aprox, so I say 48 hours to Folly about.
How did I figure mileage?? Easy. Use lat/long quadrants. There are 360 degrees. Each quadrant lat and long has 5 degrees, then each degree is 69.2 miles (earth circumference is 24901.) Use H = square root of a2+b2 to calculate aprox mileage (hypotenuse of right angle).
High school stuff. We should all be able to do that. Unless we is all morons........duh....

See what happens when I have a glass of wine with lunch??

 

Barry, that approximates to wave heights anywhere in the 8 to 27 foot range, right? (NJ Standards)

 

Barry, is that an English Swallow or a European Swallow?

 

That depends on your girlfriend......

 

Looks like we may get some 8-10' translucent blue taco shells this Sunday.

 

Tomorrow is supposed to be 5-8+ with ligh offshore. I haven't thought about surfing at all for several days, not sure what to do with myself now that the storm is over.

 

^ I think you know the answer to that question.

(masturbate or surf....or both)

 

Really the big advantage of surfing in board shorts instead of a suite.

 

Thank you for that lol

 

I know you're in a totally different situation but it's been overhead here for the past 3 days and I haven't considered surfing either . Tomorrow looks super fun in the morning so I'll definitely get on it then and this whole next week looks incredible. It's been the best 2+ full weeks (including this week) of surf I can recall in a long, long time. Hope this one stays offshore though!
