Windchop

Looks like some windchop on south facing shores today- and maybe tomorrow. It's not all that big, and definitely not organized but it is probably worth a surf anyway.

I'm hoping that it sticks around tomorrow morning, because wind should be pretty light.

It's pretty nice out, and it looks somewhat ride-able. That's enough for me to go down to the beach and check it. I'm going to wait until later this afternoon/evening- should be a bit bigger and maybe more organized with an outgoing tide.

Saturday Slides

Buoy is still registering a small swell and the wind is north. As the Ramones say...the sun is out, and I want some.

Going to get a few on the cheeseburger. My 6'6" 22.25" 3" egg will be the call.

Maybe try to spear some fish after?

Tropical Swell

The first tropical swell of the season is upon us! Trop Depression 1 is moving southeast of area waters today kicking up a little groundswell of about 4 feet. Winds should be light all day, making for some decent conditions.

I'm going to try to hit it after work.

Nothing now...maybe weekend?

That front that came through last night didn't do much for the waves. There's a small wave, but nothing really...

Later in the week another system will come through. Depends on the wind on the backside of this front... There will be waves- but will it be clean in LI or NJ or both? Time will tell.

Stay tuned.

Beach Day in April

Nice warm beach weekend in April. Considering I saw snow flakes less than a week ago, I won't complain about the lack of swell.

There's a little bump, and it's warm. Go to the beach, have a bbq, whatever.

Oh well

Went to check it early- wind was starting to come up. Swell wasn't hitting at my old high tide spot, either.

Maybe you fared better than me?

Go get some!

Looking pretty good out there this morning. Solid ESE swell, with light northerly winds. Low Tide at 7:30...incoming all morning. Should be pretty good all day- as long as the winds cooperate.

Tomorrow will have some fun leftovers, I think.

It's sunny, warm(er), and there's waves. Go hit it!

(It might be glassy enough down in nj, too)

West Winds

There is swell in the water, but the westerly winds are hacking it up pretty good here on LI. Down in NJ, looks to be a bit better.

Back on LI

Looks like I am going to be back on LI for the foreseeable future, so reports and forecasts will be for that area-unless otherwise specified.

Oh, and Alex is moving to Hawaii tomorrow. I'm sure he'll send us reports/forecasts to make us jealous. Jerk.

Back to the waves... There is a nice little long period swell showing up today- It's about 4' at 12 secs. Winds are light, too. Should be some fun waves coming through... Might be a touch bigger in NJ due to the easterly component.

Looking forward, we have a front passing later this weekend. Seas should build nicely outta the south. Winds will be west or northwest- we'll see how it pans out as we get closer.

Probably pretty good...

I haven't gotten down to the beach- but based on the buoy and winds...I'd say it's pretty good out there today. Go get some for me.

Merry Christmas.

Nope NJ- Yup LI

NE winds is screwing up the waves in NJ... Looking pretty good up in LI, though.

So- basically NJ is waiting- maybe tomorrow with NW winds?
LI continues to get the goods through tomorrow with swell and offshore flow.

Tuesday Morning

Aye- good morning to ya.

Winds are light outta the west, and the waves are about chest high. Looks like some morning sickness out there, though. I'm hoping the offshores will straighten it out soon. The buoy is showing bigger than the beaches- maybe it'll come up with the incoming tide?

It'll be worth a go out in a bit in NJ- probably best to go out now in NY due to strong west winds forecast today.

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.

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

Waist plus

Yo yo

The east swell is showing at about waist to chest high. Winds are light early. I'm going to go hit it.

Look for increasing winds, and swell as we progress through the weekend. Looking good for Sunday-Monday. (Maybe late Saturday?)

Waiting

Waves should come up out of the east, now through Friday making for rideable conditions. Then a low comes up the coast and provides sizeable waves Sunday-Monday. Looking like Sunday could see the cleanup.

The beginning of October really sucked, but it's definetly going out with a bang.

Swell's Sticking around

There's still some waves out there today. It's around chest high, with some better sets. I'd expect Jerz to be a bit bigger than LI. Conditions are pretty good with the offshore flow in NJ. I'm waiting for the tide to drop out....
