Outlook on Sunday

Not sure about NJ, but it's going to fun around here, i'm definitely going.

 

Its a coin toss...always call heads.

 

Anyone know a crowded lineup I can flame my jetski through while I tow-in a standup paddle??

 

Look at the wind. Its going to be awful. I don't understand how people are so clueless about forecasts. Lots of onshore and side onshore wind = terrible surf.

 

hey genius, north winds are offshore in many parts of Jerz

 

Great answer! plus wind predictions change quite often.

 

Not too sure about this one... a cat 1 that far out could leave us with very inconsistent, small scale swell. Our biggest hopes should be that she stalls for a good long time when she makes the turn. If she sits and spins for couple days, we might get lucky. Not too sure about head high as it stands right now.

 

I hear first street in VB is wonderful. The Wyldlife crew is always towing in when it's waist high maybe they want to play too.

 

If you look at the forecasted track of Nadine, you might think there is no way that storm is going to send us anything substantial.

Now, look at the Swellinfo East Coast Wave maps, and pay attention to the gray wind barbs. What you will see is a substantial area of Easterly winds north and west of Nadine. What is forecasted to happen, is the interaction of Nadine with a stalled frontal boundary looks to setup decent amount of easterly fetch. Most of the swell will be generated from winds away from the center of the storm.

Local winds will be a huge factor, as always, with how good the waves are, and it will vary along different stretches of coast.

 

I'm seeing a gradient that creates a lot of South/North flow from Saturday through Sunday. What am I not seeing right?

 

Nadine owes you nothing.

 

if i wish i had a constant tow in...

 

If you zoom out to the east coast view to slide 48 you will see easterly winds to the northwest of the storm. I assume Mr. Swellinfo is referring to this wind that will produce the fetch and thus the waves on sunday.

 

Yes, exactly. You will see a subsantial fetch (700-1000 miles or so) of 20kt winds to the north of Nadine.
This is what is going to give us the waves, not so much from the winds originating from the storm itself.

 

Ah... yes! The ZOOM OUT feature... never saw that before...thanks!

But I'm liking the south swell after that a lot more... Hope THAT one hangs in there.

saturday-monday looks pretty good up here thanks to the pineapple express. might be a little breezy but if you know the right spots... hope everybody gets some wherever you are.

 

LEE! i didn't know you came back haha. but yea first street when i'm not there would be a great spot. in fact we should do a mock lowers raid one day. that would be priceless.

 

Def agree with you there...love those south swells
