that depends how much you like driving. haha. I'm staying up here. I wish i was still down in wilmington, NC though. it looks like they will see big swell for a good amount of time.
That depends... If I could... I would head to Frisco on Wednesday night and probably get shacked out my mind through Sunday. But if you're talking Nags Head, I would stay in jerz.
surfer698, at the projected path, it looks like obx could deal with some northerly wind problems. If you had to make a decision today, I'd say stay at home... Still uncertainty in the path, so check the updates.
I'm a little concerned about the sand bars in Central Jersey and longer period ground swell. The Oct 20th swell was what? a 7-8 sec period, and the bars had built up so big and close to the beach (at least where I was) that waves were jacking up steep and closing out in the afternoon. With this swell being in the 10-11 sec range couldn't we see alot of close-outs again? Early saturday the angle may be better, but by Saturday afternoon and even Sunday we could be seeing fast steep closeouts again. Just a thought.
For the Delmarva, NOAA wavewatch III keeps slowly lowering the size of the SE groundswell with each model run....as of this morning its down to just 4-5 feet @ 11 seconds peaking overnight friday into saturday. Any thoughts?
Are you heading south? I am hoping the good days for here push out til Monday so I can return home and catch it good!
Yeah...the few south facing spots on Delmarva (that don't pick up any NE wind swell) i had in mind for wind protection are gonna be smaller now friday afternoon and saturday - im thinking chest high at best
Looks like Noel will merge with an extratropical low on Thursday after clearing the Bahamas and the combination of the two will produce Cat 1 - Cat 2 hurricane force winds, 70 mph, while it tracks NNE. When it does, it's gonna boogy outta here in a hurry and be up in Canada by Sunday. My question is how much energy will be left in the water with it moving that fast? What will late day Sunday and Monday look like?
Sunday looks like 10 sec E swell and NW winds for jerz. Close-out city. If the NE wind backs off on Saturday the SE swell direction could be better. Hoping for the best.
you guys thinking friday is going to be VAS conditions or possibly a chance of the NE wind not totally destroying conditions for NJ?
Got a week old baby girl- surfing has depleted to nill. Yuo all get some waves this weekend .The forecast is hurting my desire to surf.Looks SOLID. I dig pics kkep em coming thanks
HURRICANE NOEL!!!!! That's right. 75MPH - and as it transitions into an extra-tropical system it's going to STRENGTHEN - quite possibly up to 100MPH as it passes east of Jersey. It's also going to take a more westerly track than thought in the past. Good news!
