i do not understand why there is this low coming up from hatteras blowing right by and it is forecast to be totally flat
Three things create surf... Strength, duration, and fetch I'm just an amateur, and the pros know better, but I think the center of this low is too close to the coast (just like the last one) and deepening too late in its track up the eastern seaboard. So we're not really getting much of any of the Big Three. The back door cold front is the only real wind we'll see, and it's the swell-killing NW type... as Matt said.
always worth checking...you never know what you might find. might be waves, or it might be some moron in a minivan who tried to drive out on the beach. either way, it's good fun!
a bus load of gringos trekking through drug-war capital of earth (central mex) sounds like a damn good time! I'll bring a gun! ....and a big wave board...
