Swell Question

Best typo ever. TOTY 2014

 

Mr. Lochness I couldn't see the details in the screengrab, but I'm sure some weather nerds will chime in...


*disregard this post, that singularity sh!t againe

 

I would have to guess that your assessment is accurate, it would have relate to storm track/position...learn us those of you w/ greater weather knowledge...

 

lol seldom how'd I know you'd pick that up? I did a double take and was so stoked that it actually did say what I thought. Wetsuite was amazing but this is for sure TOTY14.

 

You know me well Mr. Emass. And I agree albeit a very close race. Both terms need to be added to the official SI glossary(Wetsuite probly is but we must add incest 91L)

Thank you for contributing to and maintaining this wonderful thinktank.

 

Bro, you're gonna do just fine here. We like you. Not sure if Gaff likes you though. He may or may not, but doesn't like being included in my "we" statements. He also prefers you duck dive and hold onto your board.

 

We call that a VB air. People seem to do that a lot in the good part of the wave though...makes me sad. I'd rather see a phat turn dude.

Dude, they are calling for swell like that??? Man that's legit for these parts!

 

Remember, there are no closeouts.

 

grasshopper asks long questions;
think i'll answer short.
the normal 'open ocean' or 'mid-ocean' swell direction is ese.
doesn't have to be so but seems to pan out dat way...

 

Look at the Swellinfo Wave Maps, and zoom out to North Atlantic. You will see the predicted storm as it approaches from the Tropical Atlantic. Draw a line from where the storm is to your location, that is roughly the swell direction.

 

when you do this remember to NOT THINK ON A FLAT MAP cause, as you know, our planet is a globe.

 

very true. although, with the East Coast swell window, there's not a great deal of deviation from the cylindrical equidistant map (flat map).

 

Bro, add them to the Glossary tread please. Or else when I finally go back and make what Micah can use as a sticky, we will have forgotten about several epic terms that can't go unmentioned.

Your thinktank line is unreal bro. We like when you're in a happy mood here.

 

On it...hey I might not always be happy but I'm eternally grateful.
