I'm surprised how much the buoys dropped this evening. Will be interesting to see if the increasing windswell makes it here before the wind; looks pretty possible at this point. Yew.

Fun little longboard waves till the wind in Nj.
Same kinda. Pretty small. I Should have surfed later morning lower tide with an actual log. But we had actual friends coming for a socially distant beach day, that was probably much needed.

Subway, I think its kinda crazy you guys have those rules only for tourists, I mean, I feel like 1/2 you state is in VA right now and we are kind of a hotspot down here.

Bird, by all accounts it will be hitting NC, maybe at TS, maybe a 1. I'd love to help out but I have a newborn and can't travel or help much right now. We had 2-3 foot surf today, not very good;obx was 4+ and looked fun. Will get worse until it passes and then fun. but...... two more storms in atlantic now.

Safe travels.
I think it was purely out of spite that Cuomo and his ilk did it

oh yeah, plus NC had it's biggest earthquake in 100 years this morning. no doubt there is a plague of locusts or something similar, queued up next :eek:
I saw that about the earthquake. That’s whacked. We have ‘em by the bunches but that’s a new one on me.

Meanwhile in the pacific

We’ve had rain for the last 24 hours, nothing heavy.

Forecast was for 2m swell

OZ. It's winter there. They have been having some of their biggest swells on record.

We’re under a mess of clouds with on and off rain. Clouds of zancudos too. Surf was in the very good range yesterday morning for a couple of hours between passing fronts. Nothing today.

Blotch headed for the central pacific looks promising.

That’s a long stretch of 100mph wind forecasted. If that holds Baja Sur is gonna light up.
