    im following the forecast carefully, but how well can we count on this holding up, and do you think the winds will clean up?

    Definitely going to have some power but I'm expecting walled up closeouts as well at most spots. Gonna take some searching to find a good sandbar for this one...

    yeah, I'm loving these N winds straight down the beach this morning. At least there is some energy in the water.

    Dudes, this is a mid-period groundswell, from a modest storm. There is no Category 4 sitting right off your coast. It's not that powerful. You'll be ok. I can't speak for everywhere - it's kind of sectioning - but there are plenty of corners out there. I guess our typical windswells just reel for hundreds of yards right ?? It has that groundswell push to it, but nothing crazy-hard. You'll be ok.

    And some of y'all are just completely bent on long range predictions. When are you guys going to realize that you can't predict the wether with complete accuracy when dealing with the long-term? The Weather Channel can't, your local news station can't, AND THE BEST METEREOLOGIST AT NOAA CAN'T.........Use predictions as a base, but don't plan your days 5 days in advance. Some of y'all are like addicted to this stuff. Ok, I can dig cause I'm addicted to the message board. Mr. SWELLINFO, how do you get us so hooked. I am NOT a computer dude. I've been on two other message boards in my life. That's it. I email an old girlfriend and out-of-state pals, I look at Heritage's wavecam to peep-and-tom on Ocean City, and I come on here. I don't even look at computer porn !!

    We are all hooked. How many of you fairies keep crying, "That's it.....I'm leaving this website...Boo Hoo......I don't like you guys." And they don't even stay away a complete 24 hours !!! Mr. SWELLINFO, are you putting crack in this site??? You got everybody hooked.

    he got the internet goin nuts!!! I think you get all of the credit SJB. Man myth legend over here...

    I agree that a chest high wave in troublesome winds is nothing to worry nor get over excited about. But again, better than nothing. I'll be on it at some point today and for sure tomorrow morning's dawn patrol.

    I cant wait to see someone out on a gun or hear about someone drowning....

    cant curse a swell that is already here. speedo's and claws sounds legit. I'll probably just coat myself in crude oil and pretend to be drowning the whole time. Making headlines, baby. Taking out my step up, for sure... any of my vb crew down for step offs... oh wait... they are at it even when it's knee high.
