We wont be see'ing any of this swell for a week or so if I'm not mistaken. So any mix you surf won't be hurricane swell, no? I see Thursday morning as being a good day to surf the mix. I see Friday as being the better day with the off shore winds and not so much wind swell riding on the main swell giving us some long clean rides. Looking forward to some Souther Hemi and Bertha's swell mix. Though I do not want to rule out Thursday's mix with the wind swell peaks on a solid swell.
To all the not so experienced watch out for the impact zone. Chest high hurricane swells are known for their ability to break boards.

What do you guys think of this track? The slow movement is good for swell generation but thats about it.... Bertha is dying allready, this has to be on of the fastest birth/death senerious ever. from cat 1 to 3 and back to one in 24 hours. Little cirrculations are no match for shear. (she is being sheared to brown trout right now) I wouldnt be suprised to see the NHC nock her down to maybe 80 or 90mph at 11am. It was a good warmup for the stoke machine.. Plenty of season left to go. |

you guys all lathered up for your storms always cracks me up. Today I surfed stomach/chest perfection with 0-1 other guy out all morning. Any wave I wanted, no fools to dodge, no one dropping in. The only thing the lack of true groundswell power meant to me was an easier paddle out. So per all your little "magic storm 'cast wave line" websites will pick some "go" day or days for the storm which at best will bring a chest/shoulder maybe a 6-8 foot set here and there except there'll be 25 guys in the "lineup" of which under 1/4 actually belong out there. Get over yourselves, it gets truly epic maybe once every 18 months around here.

Ok some one missed, well, about 10 days this past winter that would make 99.9999999999999999999% of NY lineup cry..... By the way the latest from the NHC. CONVENTIONAL AND MICROWAVE IMAGERY SHOW A RAPID DEGRADATION OF BERTHA'S STRUCTURE DURING THE LAST 6 HOURS. THE EYE HAS DISAPPEARED AND CLOUD TOPS HAVE WARMED CONSIDERABLY. THERE IS ALSO EVIDENCE IN MICROWAVE IMAGERY THAT THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE EYEWALL HAS ERODED. As I suspected, bye bye Bertha..... |

I think the problem is the overuse of the word epic, and I agree, it sounds like you missed a few bigger swells this winter. |

Ok some one missed, well, about 10 days this past winter that would make 99.9999999999999999999% of NY lineup cry..... you guys talking about the Jan. swell right around the NFL playoffs, right? About 8 ft? Yes I did miss that one, I was in CR where it was 6-8 every day for 10 days. And the only reason I even knew there were waves here was because I logged onto a borrowed laptop to see the score on the Giants game and checked this site for the hell of it. So yeah. stomach/chest perfection?? this morning? please... good, better you don't believe me sorry to sound so bitter I'm just so flipping sick of these "events" and the hordes that come with it, every year it gets worse and worse. I swear to god half these people just paddle out, float around for a half hour, pull a couple of half-assed T-Rex style attempts, bitch loudly about the crowd, then ride a reform into shore and go to work and tell their co--workers stuff like "yeah I surfed today its not dangerous if you know what your doing" |

We go through this every year. Last year Seacliff made the executive dessicion to allow these threads, we just enjoy them to much to worry about one or 2 extra people, plus when the first real hurricane swell of the season arrives (it woulnt be from Bertha) I woulnt be anywhere near my own break, I will get in my car a drive rather then surf with 1000000000 retarts within walking distance from where I reside. |

"bitch loudly about the crowd" - that's pretty much what you're doing right now. i'd suggest you keep surfing knee high and and believing in your head that it's chest high. |

I don't think these threads have that much impact, its the various forecast offerings, surfline being the worst
radiculous, where'd you surf today? My spot is a great low tide spot with a nice tight right-hander that breaks off a super long jetty. Most of the waves when I got there were stomach high (3 ft) with an occ chest high on set (4-5 ft) I timed to get it at the perfect window, about an hour before the low, and luckily (for me) the wind was dead. By 8 am, the SW was starting to get on it, not to mention the incoming tide. By 8:30 it was in fact knee-hi. What is so hard to believe about that? I bet you didn't even surf, you just checked surfline.com and your little web cams.
