Comments:6:15 am ... Still flat or real close to it. Tiny north swell but it's way less than knee high as it gets light early on this Monday morning. the wind is ligher NW early (check the wind here).
The local buoy is reading around 6.6 feet at 5 second..but the swell direction is to the west, so those waves are going out to sea. . The marine forecast calls for gusty NW winds today. 7:00 am... Early morning sunrise photos are up in box #1 and you can see it's mostly flat... but a few tiny north swell lines wrap in upon occasion. The wind has been so strong west, but as it clocks more NW and N , some N swell wrap will angle in. Check the surf forecast page for changes...
9:00 am... The wind is really picking up offshore. Looks super choppy out there...

The Surf Station Surf Forecast:
2-Day Wind/Wave Discussion (5/11/08): West wind beat-down continues through the weekend. Relief from the heat wave (and the miniscule waves) on the way for the work week. Here is the NWS marine discussion: STRONG SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS STARTING LATE AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AS PRESSURE GRADIENT STRENGTHENS AHEAD OF COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE PENINSULA AND COASTAL WATERS.Y FOR WINDS THE FIRST PART OF TONIGHT. OFFSHORE FLOW WILL REDUCE FETCH FOR SEAS. ADVISORY CONDITIONS FOR WINDS WILL CONTINUE OFFSHORE WATERS ON MONDAY WITH CONTINUED STRONG PGRAD. WINDS WILL DIMINISH TUESDAY THROUGH MID WEEK WITH WEAK HIGH PRESSURE PATTERN SETTLING OVER THE AREA. SOME INCREASE IN WINDS/SEAS LATER IN THE WEEK BUT LATEST RUNS SLOWING DOWN THIS OCCURRING DUE TO FRONT SLOWING DOWN. For details on when the relentless hot offshore wind that pummeled waves down to micro-GI Joe levels over the weekend will reverse behind the cold front, and a strong low winding up near the mid-Atlantic coast Sunday evening will exit near Virginia, forecast to deepen as it departs off the New England coast early in the work week, encouraging a N/NE ground swell to filter in by the middle of the work week, please see the 5-Day Forecast. -Dean |
