Seriously though, Models can be a little crazy a week out but this time it looks like our weather pattern might allow this to happen. Blocking high coming out of Eastern Canada will pump the low and help push it south and keep it out there a while, with a nice big fetch in our swell window.

Model runs have been pretty consistent generally putting something like this out there, and that's really what we look for in long range models. not specifics, but general trends. so maybe there's hope after all.

You can count on the GFS to back off on the strength of this low with each 6hr update.

I'm to the point where making plans, other than surfing, gives me anxiety. I have good freinds (who don't partake) coming to town then, which I would normally be stoked about but nowww.. Bloody hell, are we destined to an existance of hesitance to make plans, and reluctance to follow through with them because it just might hinder one good surf.. Friends, weddings, family gigs, girlfriend oriented tasks..it's all possible pissing in the wind (& onshore at that).. What have we done to ourselves

It's called a salt water fix. Essential.

I've gotten used to doing everything last minute.   LOL

Everything is a 'maybe' until a day or two before. if there's no waves, then it's balls to the wall to get anything/everything done. if there's waves, then it's back tracking and trying to find a way to fit in surf and do whatever later.

Good, surf will bring in lots of plastic to keep the Saunterers busy later in the week.

The GFS sucks with transitional periods like we're in now just getting into fall. Looks like we'll get some waist high swell out of this distant low pressure if any swell at all.

Its the life we live, its the existence we have chosen. Its taken me many, many years to get my wife, job and family to understand this. ( they still don't but have some how come to be tolerant )

I have shared calendars with several family , work chorts and surf buds. I often put down something like "possble surf day". Quite often I will email out the forecast from various sources just to start giving people a heads up. On rare occasion its just not predictable and , well, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go.....


So very hard to prioritize : to surf or not to surf , that is the question......

-------------------------
So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

I don't think it's that much of a problem for those who live in areas where the waves are consistent. When it's surfable whenever you have free time, and don't have to schedule things around a waist-high swell.

But I get what you're saying. To my regret, I've flaked out on family and friends and have gotten behind on household duties because of waves. Nothing major, but enough to be embarrassed about it as I look back on those situations.
