Just checked the vah beach updated forcasts that just came out here and it only has it head high at the biggest during this swell. The storm is coming west of bermuda and only head high. ???????????? Laugh my ass off. what are you guys doing
look anywhere, no models have it coming close enough to really bring too much swell, we are also still a couple days out, wait a bit before you start ur complaining, its the storm that determines the waves, not the people who run the site
head high in NJ is a treat. and anything more than shoulder+ is going to be heavy as hell so dont be so dissapointed
VB will see less swell than some of the surrounding areas, because the swell will lose more steam from the continental shelf getting into VB. Check out the Swellinfo wave maps, for a visualization of this. Regardless it should be solid, and is prob a little bit of an undercall for VB. OBX will be massive in comparison.
ok, but how far (in driving time and where) north or south because im going for a day trip and i don't drive, my dad is the driving sooo yeah.... hes the one who makes the final decision haha thats why i was wondering
today in ocmd was fun for me atleast, more then i expected. i hope everyone gets waves along the east coast and have a fun safe time!
Sooooooo......you've been logging in this site for a year and this is a shocker? Really? Let me help you out. If you're in the Va Beach area, just knock 30% off of the forecasted wave height and there you are....spot on. Oh...and when you see that beautifully clean head-high swell rolling into VA in a week, pretend it's going to change. Follow those 2 rules and you'll be much happier. The forcast might not be dialed in to virtual perfection, but it is consistent....and that can be worked.
forcast! The forcast for your area is something like this. There are waves coming your way. Wake up and check them yourself. Look at the wind every hour of the day. Look at the tides. Drive away from VA because it sucks there. And always use forcasts as basic starting points. Either way, you checked the forcast and swellinfo has the numbers that in return gets them more money from their adds. The circle-of-life in the digital-age! Micah, I am jealous of your vision!!!
