"Stay happy and you'll be perfectly fine" - Jack Norris

A lot of hype about a swell not yet here.

Head high plus by Sunday they predict. Lots of surf. I say, maybe not ridable. While a Cat 4 hurricane 1200 miles off the coast will produce some swell, I am more concern about the strong E winds that are going to really be pushing this swell into a frothy mess. Some models say 9 feet by late Sunday, but again this may be a 5 foot storm pushed up by the wind which not only can be sloppy, but very unpredictable. So my forecast is this. Saturday the swell starts and the winds are already at 20 mph. Not good. Sunday, bigger waves, but the same strong wind…good luck. My best bet will be sometime after Monday clean up conditions may improve IF the winds have dropped.
