Big jump up in intensity predictions... let's hope this spins up nice then does that Recurve to send us nice waves but not cause any harm to property / lives
------------------------- get up early and go surf - it'll make that hangover go away and/or make the workday more tolerable :) |

I think most of those intensity models are out to lunch......
I hope I'm wrong, as I'd LOVE some CAT4 juice as it slowly cruises up the atlantic, but I'm just not seeing it. |

How's this for a "new board curse"? Karl's structure is very difficult to determine this morning. Satellite data indicate that the low-level center moved westward far away from the convection, and currently it is hard to say if Karl possess a closed circulation or not. Assuming that it still does, the maximum winds are estimated generously at 30 kt, since the cloud pattern has become less organized. I would not be surprised if early visible satellite images will reveal that the cyclone has degenerated into a broad area of low pressure. * there's still enough fetch pointing at us to send surf and I'm sure alot of peeps will be stoked, but those wanting serious juice... ehhhhhh Edited: 09/21/2016 at 04:45 AM by Plan B |

Also what time of the day will be ideal to surf, narrow it down to 2-4 hour window. Also please state which spot is going to be working best. Lastly, I'm going to need recommendations on what size/type board to ride for these conditions.

This forecast looks too far out to say whether the magic will happen or not. We shall see. As always, surf the most crowded spot, it means you know at least as much as everyone else, and since nothing draws a crowd like a crowd, jump right in and start complaining.
Unless its bigger than overhead, then many wont make it out. That's good for the crowd. Those that do make it out will then see the number of guys actually catching waves at about 60%, because your 6'1' 18 1/2" 2 1/4" cant paddle into better than overhead surf very well. If its big, like double overhead, its closed out and onshore. If its not closed out and onshore, most people will crowd the inlets for the ease of paddle outs. This means that their tiny boards and big dreams will bob up and down, cuss when they paddle and pull out or just plain miss. THe percentage of guys actually surfing at this point goes to around 20%, These are guys riding guns and semi-guns and have spent their vacations on surf trips. No matter how big the wave is, there will always be 10% standing on the boardwalk, dressed very fashionably in surf shirts, cool trunks, the latest lost hat and authentic surf flip flops not surfing. They are discussing the tide, the wind, the isobars, arianna grande street cred, the best time to go, which is never in the present and the forecast. Its a dude bra fest. So much lingo flying that you would think they have black belts in talking. They will never surf, but they are surfers and they know everything. ------------------------- "One of the reasons why propaganda tries to get you to hate government is because it's the one existing institution in which people can participate to some extent and constrain tyrannical unaccountable power."

Gotta like what those virtual buoys are showing Thur/Fri/Sat/Sun....
Also, bahama buoys have what looks like the front runners of Karl Swell. NHC says Karl will recurve to Bermuda but intensify to 100+ in the meantime. |

Alright. I just re read my rant. Forgive me. I was fresh off a very crowded head high day at the north jetty. I am good for at least a a rant or two year when a decent wave hits.

What was the weather system setup around this time last year when we had like 7-8 days of pumping overhead peaky swell with offshore windows nearly every day? Wasn't that from some big H that setup near bermuda with a couple L's cruising underneath it to intesify that East->West fetch aimed directly at us? I would sacrafice a small farm animal to get waves like that again soon.

Should get a few fun days in with Karl, had to be in orlando all last swell so im excited for anything >waist high. Side note-why has basically every Atlantic storm taken the same path? Strong Bermuda high this year? Any chance of conditions getting better for development once we start getting into fall? |

Correct me if I'm wrong but usually a strong Burmuda high will guide storms into Florida or more west into the gulf. This year the high is shifted further over , if at all. The recurves will persist until that pattern changes. Next few weeks will get intresting lots of activity going on on the weather maps from every angle. |

i may be complete off base as my knowledge is from a bcc meteorology class where the professor tried to disprove global warming in the first 5 minutes. How much does strength have to do with it? I know if it's located further east than the clockwise formation of the high pressure system will steer it north and if the western side of the high pressure is close to the us than it will turn north much later. I never understood what the strength of the high had to do with it, but I remember one of the questions in that class had to do with all the Hurricanes turning out to sea in 2000-2002 and the answer was a weak Bermuda high was located further east. |

No offense but you attended a Meteorlogy class and asked the question above? Did they not go over the most basic subjects ...isobars and surface winds relating to pressure differentials? Sorry had to ask, maybe too much time in the water rather than attending class? Again not trying to be a jerk just curious what they heck they are teaching, In 4 hours or less you can learn everything about what you asked above and more. |

probably,8am classes during the fall aren't the best idea. But this was 3 years ago and the class was pretty basic, but yes they went over these subjects and I understand how they work on a base level but I just haven't thought about it for a while I guess and forgot how some of it works. Maybe you know a lot about meteorology, why are most of the storms turning north way too soon to send good swell? Bermuda high too Far East? |

Unfortunately it's already too north, and moving too N / fast for us to get full affects, but I'd say Karl ate some HGH last night...... I like that little westerly wobble (although I'm sure those in Bermuda dont) This will be a short lived event though..... and as Murphy's law will have it, I've had a wide open schedule all week...... until saturday

Data kinda suggests a bump UP tomorrow. I surfed my ass off for another 4+ hrs today. (It's true - I have no ass now)
Finally surf season has returneth and for whoever the hell it was who brought that last 3 month curse down on us I hope you burn. 
------------------------- Brother, when you get a minute, could I get a list of the words that trigger these fits? Hey. Where are we going? (And what are we doing in a hand-basket?) |

As soon as a storm gets north of us it's over.
The swell window opens north of PR and closes at Daytona. In 35 years I have never seen a rebound swell from a storm north of us. If it turns back to the south, that's a different story. ------------------------- I was right. |

not rebound but from wind fetch behind the storm......
but we;ve had some rebound swells but it nees to be: 1. moving very slow 2. be a BEAST of a storm but your general premise is correct...... it usually pushes swell in the direction of movement |
