Going by swellinfo, which always is somewhat reliable:

Also see NWS coastal wind advisory:
http://www.weather.com/weather/newscenter/alerts/USNJ0320?alertId=257616

"WIND GUSTS SHOULD REACH AS HIGH AS 60 MPH THROUGHOUT THE WARNING AREA LATER TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING."

I live a block from the ocean and its starting to gust nicely already. I walked down to the beach twice already today and its been building steadily. With the 40-50mph east wind there calling for, it should get real gnar tom. Even the bays should be whitecapping nicely tomorrow, which is where I plan on riding.

Shawn, cool site but you should be getting some of this tomorrow

If the link works you should see Hurricane Noel heading north.
The 44009 bouy is already seeing 8-9 footers

Do you ever ride in the Ocean?

I have ridden in the surf 4 out of the past 5weeks. This weekend noone else is around to ride, so I am going to just hang out in either the raritan or barnegat bays. If the wind blows hard enough tomorrow even the bays should be pretty fun.

Rode Brig today with a bunch of old farts... Looked nothing like that & was F***ing cold:grumpy:

 

[shawn_NJ]

Joe, are you going out next weekend? If my cdi comes in on time, I really want to get a few more surf runs in before drysuit season. And I dont ride in the ocean by myself. I rode Barneget Bay Saturday, with a 3/2 and 1mm vest/hood and was nice and warm. Had a great time till I lost spark...lol

(bay had 2-3ft waves from the wind)
