funny fact:

sometimes you will go online to check the buoys and they will read 8ft @ 9 seconds, but on shore it's flat... This happens because the fetch is going a direction the is not toward your beach. We will get some N. swells that will just pass us right by, because the direction of the fetch is pushing parallel to the beach instead of perpendicular.


You really need to understand what direction the swell will be coming from in order to figure out the size.... then you have combination swells where a N. and S. swell are combining

 

[yamaslut]

and you call us geeks!

i got your perpenDICular right HERE!

just tell us if there's gonna be surf or not, and if so, how big.

it's ok to be geeky about some things... :biggthumpup:

j/k...

we will have chest-head high south east swell w/ 10mph winds and a 9 second period on the ground swell. there will be surface chop, but we are all use to that.

BTW, swell info is showing slightly smaller forecast than wave watch. swell info is one I trust for the gulf coast.

Ya thats some pretty nasty stuff right now, I would feel right at home in that mess.:smile:

I will say this, in the 15 or 16 years I've been coming to Daytona there has always been some kind of waves to play in.

If we get the 8'+ forcasted for the weekend it will be insane. I can only remember getting waves that big once down there and I was riding with you out of the inlet.
