    is it just me or does the wave map not agree with the forecast? I'm looking at the winds in the Mid-Atlantic in particular.

    the wave maps are updated 4 times per day, while the Swellinfo forecasts are updated twice per day. So, yes, there can be dependencies between them.

    Swellinfo get's the midatlantic area's forecast pretty damn close and today was spot on in OCMD. Rule of thumb is surf early no matter what. There's gonna be more surfers and wind on it as the morning progresses.
