    1. Matthew is likely to produce devastating impacts from storm
    surge, extreme winds, heavy rains, flash floods, and/or mudslides in
    portions of the watch and warning areas in Haiti, Cuba, and the
    Bahamas. Please consult statements from the meteorological services
    and other government officials in those countries.

    2. Direct hurricane impacts are possible in Florida later this
    week. Tropical storm and/or hurricane watches could be issued
    sometime tonight or early tomorrow for portions of the Florida
    peninsula and the Florida Keys.

    3. Tropical storm or hurricane conditions could affect portions of
    Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina later this week or this
    weekend, even if the center of Matthew remains offshore. It is too
    soon to specify what, if any, direct impacts Matthew might have on
    the remainder of the U.S. east coast. At a minimum, very dangerous
    beach and boating conditions are likely along much of the U.S. east
    coast later this week and weekend.

    Based on the official track the closest point to Florida is 100 miles off the coast, with adjustments possible.

    Because of this hurricane watches are likely for the east coast of Florida tonight or tomorrow."

    Every place in RI gets a crowd when there's a good swell on. I have seen point Judith swarmed, Monahans overrun, been threatened on a rare day at Scarborough. I don't surf Ruggles 'cause I would just be in the way. There are a few harder to get to spots. Leftovers are often good, And I can surf weekdays. Lucky me, if you count not working as lucky.

    You mean a mistake other than surfing when you can't swim, right?

    Frosty, I refrain from the critiques now that you're replacing Ryan Lochte on the next USA squad :rolleyes:

    Vaughan took care of that one.

    Are those closing out or clean & green from the ...SSE...?

    Seem to be from due east if even a slight N component imo so maybe not from
    Matt maybe from something else...there's rides there not closing out all the way down the line ..not perfect though pick wrong section you'll get closed out best to take a shoulder breeze picked up a tad from north so could go with the swell to the south

    No mistake as in taking off too late being a bit lazy on the paddle etc

    High pressure system could keep this thing close to coast. Hugging coast all the up and through Hatteras. Strong storm...

    My local forecast took a royale sh!t when things swung to the west yesterday. After anticipating Sandy-like surf for daze, it's now gonna be a day of blown out mess followed by maybe a good day on Friday. We'll see. Forecasts for here are often wrong. Ready for the first cold front.

    Bummer, no telling what this will bring yet, hang in there. Maybe this thing curves out to sea and sends nothing but waves.... one can hope right?
