    its pretty spot on in Delmarva in the waist to stomach range.
    There is a storm off the coast, and the buoys have been slowly rising through the day.
    Afternoon, incoming should be fun for a lot of areas.

    Sometimes when I roll up to a spot my eyes can be disappointed by what I thought I was going to get, but com'mon, give the guys a break.

    I have to imagine the only thing more difficult than predicting weather would be how a buggillion gallons of water is going to react to it...

    Roll with what you get or don't go in...

    I've hit 1.5ft @ 10sec and gotten a few chest high sets (few and far between). Just gotta get out there and see what luck you have left...hope your karma is as good as mine seems to be.

    The biggest sets were definitely chest high in N.H. this morning. It looked like it was 1-2 ft at dead low, then half hour later it started building pretty darn good as the tide filled in, where I was.

    Not sure what the forecast was for Ocean City, Maryland but the swell seemed to fill in this afternoon. Plenty of clean waves around mid afternoon.[​IMG]

    It also says it's gonna be waist high and clean on Friday after the cold front passes through where I'm at. Although I do live on a coast that obtains nothing but short period slop chop, idk what spot is real clean when the off shores howling at 20-25 mph. This happens allot with northern texas coast SI forecast. It is probable, And very likely that the buoy will have some footage on it, no doubt. But it's gonna be one wave dumpers. I don't know if your surprised that they were wrong, and your just spoiled (I don't mean that offensively) because it's always so precise. But I love swell info for the fact that it's more of a long range forecast for when a swells peak days will be, and what spot it will be best at. Then when it's crunch time I know what buoy(s) to be hounding.
