FAR away.... but FIRED up. Should send some big enough swell to handle decay over that distance, and still have some solid long period punch. Unfortunately as Karen (or her remnants ) approach, it should increase the pressure gradient between the ridge and the onshore winds in the process.... hopefully we luck out with one solid (semi clean) day ..... Hopefully it slows down some, to keep swell in the water that outlasts the onshores.....The wrist is almost ready

timing... Its about 2,000 miles away with swell traveling at 20 mph should take 100 hours or 4 days to get here. From Sunday that means Thursday/Friday for peak swell. Does that sound right? Hopefully winds die down by then.

Thanks Plan B for checking it. Yea, I was looking at peak swell since Sun/Mon is when it's most in our swell window and a major hurricance. But based on it's locations Fri/Sat we should start seeing precursors on Monday I think.

Embrace the off shores, it is Florida and West winds with waves is a rare event...Hey **Daner** see you at the On shore spot Monday AM or PM? Tuesday AM?.... not sure if there will be enough size but worth a look , maybe end up North of the bridge , just looking for a short paddle out and punchy sets.

Plenty of swell in the water right now, but the bars are blowing.
It's an easy three feet, I checked four spots and I'm sitting here typing, not surfing. ------------------------- I was right. |

Dissection of open ocean swells......
http://www.stormsurf.com/page2...rials/wavebasics.shtml "The speed (in nautical miles per hour or kts) of an individual deep water wave is about 3 times it's period (in seconds). That is, an individual wave with a 13 second period travels at 39 kts. Contrary to what you might intuitively think, there is a linear relationship between wave period and wave speed. But because most deep water waves move in groups, the group speed is half that of an individual wave (within the group), or in this example about 19.5 kts. As the wave moves into shallow water, the group speed and the individual wave speed become the same, so the individual wave starts traveling at the group speed, or 19.5 kts. This wave speed formula is approximate, and actually wave speeds are a fraction different, but this is close enough for all but the most detailed surf forecaster." |

Very interesting coastal flood watch from National Weather Service. 17 sec swell.
Interesting possibility for Vero's South Beach. Brevard beaches with relatively gentle slopes tend to have spilling waves (not always, of course). South Beach is relatively steep due to lots of shell fragments, so almost always is "plunging," waves with lips. A really steep beach or some other factor can cause plunging to morph into surging, where the water just pushes up the beach with no breaking wave. I've seen that once at South Beach, on what was a big day with a swell, elsewhere. South Beach merely had water coming and going.

Cant believe this BEAST hit Cat5 last night with 160mph sustained...... NEVER before has one that far east (and north) ever done that..... Climate change? nahhhhhh I just wish he'd stall out for a bit.... for our surf, and for the Azores/Europe.
