    Okay, take this info for this Sunday, which look like its going to be epic-like conditions, minus the fact that temps are going to be in the 30's lol...

    winds NNW
    Wave direction 80* @ 7-8 secs

    How does this affect beaches that face SSE, ENE, or E?

    For example, does this mean more rights or lefts for SSE beaches?

    I know that in cape may ( its a SE beach at The Cove) when it blows N or NW it make for a bit of a current away from the Rock . Depending on how hard the wind is blowing it can be a hard current or a slight drift


    This weekend looks like its gonna be great if the forcast stay this way
