    Keep looking at it. By sunday it'll change another 15 times. Keep looking at it, the weather, and check it yourself. Eyes are much better than a prediction when it comes to whether or not you should go out. Forecast is just a guide to help determine that.

    here's the story.....

    first you gotta take the average of the two wave heights mentioned, extract a size (number) from that average, and manipulate it so that there is one squared term, one linear term, and one constant (put in quadratic form). Then, you gotta complete the square in order to find the vertex which will give you the highest wave height for that day. Those will be the plus sets and most other sets will be 2/3 that result. :D

    hahahaha... I'm in the midst of studying for an algebra 2 final right now hahahaha

    p.s. i think i just lost my mind... this studying is really getting to me after a long day of baseball practice.

    the forecast is upgraded twice per day, once in the morning and once in the early evening. So, i'm not sure what you are referring to.

    In any case, if you haven't realized this by now, that the extended day forecast can change quite easily. This is because east coast forecasts are largely based off of atmospheric model wind data. Sunday looks to offer potential with light winds.

    Hey Micah,

    I know the forecast is updated twice a day, but my screen shows the time around 10ish for both AM and PM EDT updates, when I know they are posted much earlier. My PC time is correct - any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Fresh

    Winds looks light for both days, if saturday holds with N wind at 5-10kts wont matter much if waist-chest high--should still be fun and then sunday will be even cleaner. hit it.

    this has been fixed... this was a bug showing GMT time, but from now on will show the appropriate local time.
