    I didn't have any input on the site, but to me it seems..

    "Very Poor" is generated by surfline's forecast system. their scale is poor, fair, good, and epic, and combinations of these.

    It just goes to show that you can't rely solely on forecasting sites.

    The site looks like a bunch of sole surfers on a hunt for stoke to me. Good for them and their shameless plug onto this forum

    im guessing the very poor forecast came from surfline and they probably just do one forecast for the whole state. Since RI has beaches facing multiple directions, the wind direction was probably side shore in most of the state, but offshore at this spot.
