real swell
THURSDAY...surf will arrive on southern shores overnight and great dawn patrollers with 2-3ft and building surf. buoy 28 has under constant survailance and has yeilded the goods. wave heights and energy has increased significantly in the 14-17sec bands out of 205-210deg which is the direction that the swell is coming in. buoy 2 is not really picking much up yet, but should start pinging in the next few hours. a high surf advisory has also been issued starting at high noon tomorrow so the call is for solid 4ft by night fall and possible one of those magical late afternoon sessions with legitimate swell that few will believe because it somehow dropped by friday. anyway the your move...the goods will be there.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
the south swell arriving thursday should be for real meaning that 5ft sets are likely and even some larger sets may be found. the system responsible for the swell originated off the east coast of new zealand a move north-northeastward in the direction of hawaii. at its closest approach it was around 3600nm away which is generally closer than normal for most southerly juice. the storm also stayed stationary for a goog 2 days which is even better in that this will guarentee a long lived swell and additional energy in wave power. lastly, there was little in the way of island blockage so the swell travelled mostly unobstructed. with buoy 28 showing a significant increase in swell energy over the day wednesday it will be a good bet that friday should be one of the better days for the south shore this season.
