Kinda small...

Good Morning-

Waves out there are pretty small, maybe around knee high. The tide's high this morning, making for basically unrideable conditions early.

Buoy's holding at about 3' @ 10 secs , so there could be a decent little wave coming in at lower tides.

Long period swell to start showing tomorrow.

Week of Waves

Good Afternoon-

Waves out there should be dropping throughout the day. It would be best to get out there as the tide comes in to push the waves up a bit.

This morning on LI was super fun- Chest to Head+ with winds outta the north. NJ didn't fare as well, due to sideshore winds- with the exception of south facers...

Looks like another low sets up to give us some long period east swell throughout the work week.

September Sessions!

Late Report

Swell is definetely in the water. Many spots in NJ were looking craptacular, however. NY has faired a bit better with light NE winds this morning.

Tomorrow looks like a solid day of waves in NY- winds with a northerly component. Jerz should be good early, and if the wind goes NW as predicted later in the day...

I'd check it early!

Winds slacked off a bit

Good Morning-

Winds have slacked off a bit this morning, and waves are "cleaning up" -Dont get me wrong, its still a mess out there, just not as messy as it was.

It might be worth a check of a more protected spot... if you're in to that sorta thing.

Wind should come back up as we go through the day.

Gale Warning

The wind has really come up here on the beach over the last few hours. Stuff's slidin across the front porch. Take a look at the wind field over the whole atlantic. Wind should continue to increase as this storm(no named low) comes past us, then wait for kyles wind to come up. Still lookin good for a solid session on sunday, somewhere.

The Wind is Still Coming Up

Waves are breaking 200 yards out- well past normal...

Victory at Sea

Honkin NE winds have created a mess of an ocean. There are chop waves in the head high range, and actual sets of swell are solid OH. Pretty much victory at sea conditions.

I always wondered where that expression came from...here's wikipedia's take

Wind forecast for the weekend says NW winds for Sunday. I am highly skeptical about the next few days wind forecast, however. Storms like this are highly changeable, and forecasts are a guess, at best.

Keep checkin for updates.

As forecast...it's a mess.

Waves out there are building with the onshore flow. Winds should increase through the work week, and push in a good sized swell. Lookin like the weekend might provide some favorable winds.

Trough brings the Froth?

The low off SC will begin to interact with the tropical depression near PR/DR in the near future. Its uncertain how these lows will hash out- but it is certain that the depression will head northward. Let's see how this plays out.

Locally-
Waves are in the head high range- and a pretty big mess. If you like paddling in a washer machine, you are stoked. Heck, maybe you'll luck into a short wall...

Mess

Its a mess out there. Stiff NE winds building up some shlop.

m'eh

Waiting for a cleanup.

The start of weeklong slopfest

Its pretty ugly looking out there. Its about knee high, and the winds side/onshore. Look for winds to blow out the NE with peak wind intensity forecasted for Wednesday - Thursday. Doesn't look good for much of a cleanup at east facing beaches- perhaps better at south facing.

Sunday Funday

Good Morning.

As expected winds died over nite leaving behind a clean chest to head high easterly swell. Its sheet glass out there right now.

Winds are forecast to be light NW, then switch more NE. I'm pretty much expecting a lite seabreeze to pick up when the land warms up enough...

In the meantime go hit it!

More NE windswell early this week...

Saturday, September 20, 2008

Winds are light....

Afternoon Update:

Winds slacked off throughout the afternoon, and conditions improved a bunch. Its still chunky, but the faces have cleaned up. Around chest to head high, maybe the odd bigger set. It ain't perfect but its pretty fun. Go get some before dark.

Tomorrow should be pretty good- winds stay light overnight. Hopefully, the wobble and funk is gone by morning.

slopfest

still blowin outta the NE. theres some swell out there, but its pretty mixed up with the NE windswell on top of it. Its plenty rideable, and worth a go-out. Look for better conditions tomorrow, with winds slacking overnight. Marine forecast callin for light N winds- I'd imagine it will be fairly glassy in the morning.

Friday, September 19, 2008

The build is on...

As predicted, the wind is blowin hard outta the NE, and the waves are coming up. Its rideable, but a mess. Maybe you can find some protection, and get a decent go-out....

Waves? Today? Really?

Believe it or not... there's a little wave out there today. Its about thigh to waist, dare I say a bit bigger? Its breakin thru the high tide this morning, too. There's a couple guys out getting some waves. Worth a check, if you got nothing else going on.

Look for the winds to start kickin up outta the NE later this evening. Waves with onshore flow through the weekend. Maybe a cleanup on Sunday.

Flaaaaaat

hello there surf junkies.

Its flat this morning, and it feels like a bit of fall air has come over us. brrrr. It reminds me of gloves, boots and hoods. Which means our real surf season can't be too farr off!

Look for winds to start honkin outta the NE on Thursday evening. This kinda swell will be bigger as you head south, biggest down in the OBX. Winds look like an issue pretty much everywhere- unless you've got some sort of protection.

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

really small

good morning. waves are pretty flat this morning... look for an increase of winds/waves from the NE late this week. rideable again friday? we'll see.

Low Tide, afternoon update

Waves are about knee to thigh high, with a waist high bomb every once in a while. It could get a little bigger/better with the incoming tide. Its super nice out- I might go get a few in a bit.

Small bump out there...

Well, that south wind pushed in a little bump- but the tide's way too high now with the full moon. Maybe worth a check later...

sunday-end day

the belmar pro wrapped up today- pretty sure kyle garson took 1st place- at least that was my take after leaving the beach...

tomorrow looks like small south windswelll- maybe

its worth a chek if your jonesin or whatever. i'll probably try to get a few slides in.....

water was pretty murky tonite. couldnt see more than two feet. no speared fish.

summertime conditions

waves are in the barely rideable category today. its hot and humid, and a good day at the beach. belmar pro ends today.

maybe a small south wind bump tomorrow, but i'm not too optimistic.

hopefully the tropics stir something up for us soon.

Belmar Pro Weekend

Belmar Pro bro-down in full effect. Its knee to waist high, clean with light NW winds. Tide's on its way out. Probably worth a look-see if you ain't got nutin better to do.

Should be a fun day down here. Tons of people makin their way down to the contest site. Looks like one more weekend of 'summer'.

...da youths of today are like a human bomb... i say, watchout

More of the same...

Good morning from the beach! Unfortunately, we are still looking at barely rideable conditions today. Winds will be out of the south- at least the water's still warm.

Remember

It was only 7 years ago- don't forget the sacrifices given.

Waves today look small, but somewhat rideable. Waist high range with easterly winds. Heats in the belmar pro start today.

Belmar Pro

The Belmar Pro is setting up down on the beach, but the waves look pretty crappy. waist high+ and blown out from the NE. Heats start tomorrow morning- but the forecast doesnt look great. Last Sunday and Monday morning were damn good all over NJ. Hope you got yours.
