I just spoke with the "swellinfo people" and relayed your message. They asked me to tell you to "go fu$k your muddah."
So. You signed up. Complained about the forecast first post. Which you have every right to do so. Got so irrtated si didn't answer you within one hour that your never using it again. Lol Now I see why your so irritated that the forecasts aren't exactly on to the inch. You have no patience as far as I can tell. No offense. Relax man. It's all gonna be ok. And why not monitor si and the weather and go to the ocean to check it? You know your gonna.
I find SI to be pretty decent at forecasting the possibilty of swell 2 to 3 days out. Having said that mother nature is unpredictable over a few days or so. You might just need to go oldschool and get a visual at your local break.
lol your mothers a whore nynj (just kidding im sure she is a nice lady). so you guys keep reeling me in. ive been using swellinfo since it first came out. i remember the old days when we had to watch the "blue channel" on tv to hear the marine forecast to get an idea if any swell is coming. i use various sources (surfline, stormsurf, various buoy and weather stations, tricks, voodoo, sacrifice, etc) and have a good idea of what is going on after surfing and watching it for 15+ years. swellinfo is a useful tool i have in my arsenal that is becoming less useful. i came on here just to bring to light this ONE topic in hopes it might reach the swellinfo people so that they can hopefully get some feedback that the forecast for my area has been increasingly wrong. im not impatient that they haven't responded. im surprised so many people did respond. my issue isn't that they aren't 100% accurate, its that the forecast has gotten worse in the past few months. That said, its starting to look fun out so i'm gonna go surf. be cooler if it was 2-4 ft though

Its a hard north swell and the beaches in SE NC face southeast...not too hard to figure out its not gonna be that hot there. Im sure the forecast was the same for SC but I could've told you it would be near flat here with suck a hard angle. Anyway, I think this site is pretty good if you know how to use the maps...if you just look at the dude and his blocks and the printed out forecast....youll miss out
2-4 feet...could be 2 feet knee high is about 2 feet, give or take a few inchs on how tall you are you are upset the forecast off by a few inches? get a clue
