    Anyone have a good prediction for how it is going to be this afternoon (after 4) in the Atlantic City region? Did anyone get out this morning... how was it/conditions?

    Hope there is some size still later and the winds aren't complete garbage.

    I got LBI yesterday around 3-5ish and it was garbage. Had some size but choppy and not lined up good.

    Weather.com for AC is saying 5pm W winds switching to WNW by 7-8ish... Just hopeing some size sticks around and it should be fun.

    I think before the sun came up it was only semi-choppy but in my opinion it is complete garbage now and the wind is much more S than W. But if you would like to get tossed around in murky, weedy, chest high chop, your in luck today in the "AC Region".

    Well there is a storm passing through right now and they are still calling for WNW switching to NW winds from 4pm on. Hope it cleans up.

    As of right now all I can go by is cames and reports till I get out of work. I am checking out the belmar and casino pier cams and they look absolutely FLAT. Reports are saying otherwise...

    Anyone been out in those areas in the past few hours?

    Yeah, that's what I've been doing all day at work. I get out in 15 minutes and heading straight to AC. Hope for the best! :confused:

    Cams and Waves

    I don't know about anyone else but yesterday I checked the casino pier and belmar cams, and yea it looked flat and choppy. But when I checked the surf in person it was still really sloppy but sizable chest-shoulder. Some plus sets seemed head high-slightly overhead.

    In my experiences, cams from the boardwalk often make (unintentionally) the waves look smaller than they actually are. It's either that or my local break is flat out better than casino pier, but I would assume they are pretty similar.

    Well for AC, I'm going agree but disagree. It did look murky and chippy chop but goddamn no where near chest high. It wasnt even knee high, let alone rideable. Got the biggest dissapointment ever. :mad:

    Yup, it is always better than where I end up... for the most part, it is always better everywhere else than AC.

    I surfed North Side Casino Pier yesterday even thought the cams looked like ****. Let me tell you it was ****. It was more crowded then it is on a better day and the waves were about knee to thigh high. If I was not so wave starved I would have looked at that and saw all the people out and laughed.
