The forecast tracks are shifting W, so entirely possible. Might be good time to head to Nova Scotia?a forecast i saw has it slamming into Pt. Judith RI
Same, CNJforerunners were pleasant.
small but good form.
Flagler and Burna cams showing a little more activity.
Oddly no signs of swell on the Fernandina/St. Augustine nearshore buoys. I remember a day kind of like this in October 2009 where the buoys were like 1@10 x 2@9 and some guy walking over the Poles boardwalk told us it was really fun. We looked at each other like OMG what a kook the buoys are microscopic. Turned out there were combo'd up waist-chest high runners galore.
A until south facing beaches clean up
B will the waves last
It will be small leftovers Monday morning given this track.
Exactly when it will be clean depends on the exact track, speed, intensity, shape of the storm's windfield, and your definition of clean. It might be a bit textured, or even chopped to start, but gloriously treasured by all-and-sundry, for the duration of the swell.
Any wind angle other than normal/perpendicular to the coastline, and the name of the game is inlet/jetty/pier. The East Coast: where a coastline sees hyped swells on a wind more than 45 degrees off straight onshore.
With this track I'd be watching it like a hawk Sunday. I'd probably try driving South of LBI once the wind had Northerly aspect. But I'm a goofy footer. And maybe it will be very Easterly Sat PM and already clocked off Sunday AM and left runners came and went in the nighty night.
You may find that there is not a long time of California morning groomed pristine surf. It will probably lose adverse surface texture quickly, but still retain lots of "character" in the form of lumpjumble. The storm is right there and this generally helps put a corner on it, allowing the zoo animals more pasture for grazing.
It will be mid-70s water and you'll get a laugh from East Coasters flipping their FULLY NOOKING sh!t.
