Leftovers

Still some waves out there. It's in the chest high range, and the tide's dropping. Go get some.

Undercalled?

The swell showed a bit stronger than expected. It was pretty much solid head high- and the buoy's are still bigger than forecast. Hopefully, this trend keeps up through morning.

That'd be cool.

Waves Are Here

The south swell showed up, and the wind is offshore here in NJ. Look for the swell period to increase, and the waves to get more lined up as the day progresses. It should be in the solid chest high range- according to the models.

Tomorrow sees the swell stick around at about 4 feet at 9 secs... and continues through the week, swinging more easterly.

Week of Waves?

That storm we've been watching has decided to move more favorably into our swell window. Sick.

So here's the deal. Tuesday sees windswell come up all day- perhaps a cleanup in the afternoon. Weds sees the swell period increase, and makes for some better conditions. Then the swell should start to rotate more easterly, and stick around for a few days in the waist to chest high range.

I'm pumped.

Keep checking back for updates- this thing could decide to change its mind again- and skunk us. haha

Forecast for Next Swell

A low should move down from the Great Lakes early next week, and COULD kick up some surf for us Tues/Weds. It all depends on the track this thing decides to take- as of now its looking not looking too good. The forecast now is for the storm to exit just south of us, and then track NE. That'll produce some south short period windswell, then it'll be gone with gusty offshores.

Hopefully the track changes!

Til' then do something else.

Little Bump

So that little east swell showed up. It wasn't much- but enough to maybe get wet. Next chance for waves looks like before Thanksgiving- maybe Tuesday?

Minor Background Swell

Could see some small, but rideable background swell over the next few days. Nothing really, but it should be clean with the mostly offshore flow. Keep an eye on the buoys and tide. A little swell and an incoming tide could bump it up in the 'fun' category.

Flat into the future.

Its pretty much flat, with flatness in the horizon. I'll let you know what's up ...next chance for waves.

Sunday and Monday

I hope you got some yesterday. I heard it was pretty good.

Today, (Monday) has got some waves again. It's about chest high, but there's kinda a wait between sets. I'm going to wait for the tide to drop out some, and see it gets a bit better.

The rest of the week is lookin flat and cold. yikes.

Building

So as predicted, the swell's building. It will continue to come up until the wind goes west, sometime late tonight. Tomorrow's looking good with a strong swell and strong offshores in NJ.

Should be solid head high+ in the morning, and drop off pretty quickly thru the day with the hard offshores.

It's pretty nasty out there now- not really worth it.

There's Waves

yo yo yo
So those strong winds blew in a windswell. Its waist to chest high, maybe a bit bigger every once in a while. It's pretty disorganized, and not looking too spectacular. It's been getting a bit better as the tide drops out, but the wind seems to be breathing out of the south. The forecast is for the wind to be south at 10kts later. Probably looking at the best session of the day around 11am.

See ya out there.

Waiting

It's still really small. Look for the surf to come up tonight into tomorrow. Nothing huge, but it could be fun. I'm thinking it will show at about chest high. West winds make for clean conditions in NJ.

Here come the fronts...

Alright....
So it looks like a disturbance will pass by area waters Thursday and leave a small south windswell for Friday morning. Winds are looking light south until the cold front approaches Friday afternoon. This front looks to pack a punch, with winds gusting to 30kts ahead of the passage. Winds should be sustained from the south for 24 hrs or so. Wind goes hard offshore after the front comes through- probably late Saturday. Sunday morning sees the cleanup with swell height predicted at about 6' at 9 secs. We'll see.

Flat

It's still flat... but we've got some waves on the way for late this week into the weekend.

I'll do a forecast later.

pfffffttttt.

Basically flat.

Be sure to thank a veteran today.

Small and Offshore

Gusty west winds, and small little swell. Looking like much of the same until late this week.
South flow looking to build in Thursday and Friday increasing our chance for waves into the weekend.
Until then....

Flat-ish

Pretty damn small. Might be a longboardable wave with the incoming tide, if you're into that sorta thing.

Looking pretty flat into this week. booooo.

Stupid Wind

Good Morning-

Winds came up outta the South early. Swell still holding at about 4' at 10 secs.

The forecast is for winds to go more SW later today. So maybe we'll squeak out one more clean session out of this swell.

We'll see.

Late Update...

Sorry for the late update. I got outta the house early this morning, after checking it out front.

Here's the rundown of the day.

Early AM in NJ showed lumpy, textured surf in the Head+ range. Not looking good.
We drove up to LI, and it wasn't even all that great. (Yesterday, it was pretty damn good up there, based upon the reports I heard.) We got it chest+ and kinda mushy. Basically, it was like the swell was missing LI due to the East in it.

Checked out the hook on the way back, and it wasnt really doing it there. Around chest high. Cruised down to Long Branch, and surf some head high semi-closeouts. Blah.

Basically drove around all day, and didnt even get it good.

Hoping for some leftovers in the AM. The swell should stick around a bit- but the forecast's calling for the south wind to come up pretty strong.

Nor'easter Conditions

Its a pretty typical Nor'easter out there. Its onshore and nasty in NJ. It's got the size, but is just a mess.

Long Island was looking good yesterday, and I expect the same for today.

Tomorrow- The winds are forecast to go North, then NW. I'm hoping we get more west in the winds early. Either way, LI should be damn good. again.

The Build is Here

Good Morning.

This swell is shaping up as described. It's almost head high out there already, but the winds starting to screw it up in NJ. It's probably pretty good in NY.

I'm playing by winter rules- so I'll wait for the cleanup before going out.

One change to the forecast- winds are looking to go NW on Friday. Hopefully, this wind forecast holds. Its good for NJ, and good for NY. Win-Win

Nor'easter

Hello hello. I'm back from St Martin. Yeah, I got some waves down there. Nothing huge or epic, but it was warm and blue. Gotta love the carib.

As Alex mentioned, we are in for some swell this week. Looking like a sizeable one, too. So here's the breakdown...
Weds- Winds increase outta the NE and swell starts to come up. Maybe NJ will be decent early, if the winds arent honkin at dawn- but I'm doubtful. LI should be pretty good, maybe best around midday. Swell is coming up, but winds should get pretty heavy late.
Thurs- Swell should be still coming up, peaking late in the day. Winds also look pretty heavy. LI looks good with the northerly flow.
Fri- Winds could come more NW, allowing for better conditions in NJ. LI looks good...again.
Sat- Swell continues to drop, but winds go SW. Looking like the cleanest day for NJ. Let's hope the swell holds.

As for size? I am guessing LI should see some solid OH sets during this swell. NJ will be big and blown out for most of it.

Something

There is a little longboard wave out there this morning in the knee high range, 2 ft at 10 seconds. Winds are ligtht so its fairly clean if you need to get wet.
