Friday - could be solid

Definitely keep an eye on this upcoming system. Models right now are looking good for a solid South, with winds shifting W on Friday. The Wrightsville area is particularly looking good, with a little less size to the south. Keep checking the forecasts for updates.

 

I'm familiar with that illness.

Keep checking the updates, these coastal systems are known to change here and there in the model predictions.

 

Yes, I do have the technology to manipulate the weather - I just to choose to make it cold and flat most of the year

The swell is looking a little more S/SW with the latest models, but still looking fun for friday for the east facers (with west winds).

 

as it stands now, it looks like south facers may have to wait until saturday for NW winds, and cleaner, faded leftovers.

Sometimes the south facers get it good, sometimes its the west facing breaks.
Up for a drive?

 

sorry, no chance for a snow day... but perhaps you should go with breyn119's routine, and conjure up a serious illness.

 

That water temp is off for sure... Looks like there's a problem there - looking into it. Thanks for bringing it too my attention.

 

ya, latest models shifted that low off to the east a bit... showing northerly winds in the early am, then shifting west. Its tough, when those lows are parked so close... So, Emerald Isle/Atlantic beach area could see some clean stuff for the early a.m., then take a drive south for midday WB !



As I said in the first post, the models are super fickle with these lows that skirt right up the coast, so its def. wise to keep checking the updates.

FYI - wave maps/hourly winds are updated at approx. 12:45am, 6:45am, 12:45pm, 6:45pm plus/minus 15minutes.

nearshore wind maps are updated about an hour earlier

 

oh ya, and take some pics for us - if you get the goods

 

looks like the swell will fill in through the morning hours and peak around the midday low tide.
