Saturday is the day.... Secret Spot is the location...

Sunday the swell will be down from 6ft to 3ft and it will happen fast once the wind switches... Hopefully it won't switch till Sunday morning, not Saturday night...





The Surf Station Surf Forecast:

(Updated 9/5 pm)
The building NE swell will be the rule through the work week with waves notching up into the bumpy 2-occ 3' range by Thursday due to a lengthy fetch of NE wind on the topside of a strong/slow moving low circulating in the Atlantic 350 or so miles east of Florida. The Gray's Reef buoy southeast of Savannah indicates short/moderate period NE wind swell in the 3-4' range, a product of the fetch of NE wind off the Ga/SC/Fla coast. The NE swell will build through the end of the work week, then slowly diminish while cleaning up some for the weekend.

Here is the NWS wx forecast (with my editing in parenthesis) discussing the building sizeable NE ground swell (bad news for swimmers and boaters = good news for surfers):
MARINE...NE WINDS WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 15 KNOTS OVERNIGHT WITH SEAS/SWELLS STARTING TO BUILD TO 4-5 FT RANGE ACROSS THE ATLC WATERS. SEA HEIGHTS WILL FURTHER BUILD THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY WITH PERSISTENT NELY WINDS AND SWELLS GENERATED FROM ATLANTIC LOW. ANTICIPATE NEEDING CAUTION STATEMENTS BY LATER ON THURSDAY AND SCA FOR SEA HEIGHTS BY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT OR EARLY FRIDAY. SEAS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND WITH GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. LONG PERIOD SWELLS WILL MEAN THE RIP CURRENT DANGER WILL BE ELEVATED LATE WEEK THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.




Hybrid lows forming in the Atlantic just to our east, unseasonably early cold fronts, and mini-nor'easters sponsored by a weather pattern very similar to what we experienced in early June, will produce a multiple-day run of sizeable NE swell. This is a very good thing in the absense of significant tropical systems in the western Atlantic.Speaking of the tropics, the GOES storm floater is monitoring the disorganized remenants of once super-hurricane Felix swhirling harmlessly over Central America. Felix never was a factor for us and we didn't need him anyway, because here is the 5-Day Forecast with the surf building size nicely while gradually cleaning up some through the forecast period as the onshore flow eases off toward the weekend. -Dean​

Not only do you need to get off, you need to get there early. None of that showing up at 11:30 crap on a day like this. :drillsergeant: I can't wait. I'm going to head to Ponce tomorrow night for a little preview.
 
I can show up on time when the occassion warrants it. Chitty summer surf isn't usually much to get out of bed for. I'm looking 50/50 on getting the day off. I'm hoping for the best.

not looking very promising anymore... it will be big, but the cleanliness may not come...

I will be making my descision sat morn. at about 8am when I look at it... If it's ********, that I think it's gonna be, then I will hold off till sunday... not gonna waste gas in chop slop..........
:Thinkingof_:
 
Sebby was looking good today between 11:am to 2:pm then it got much smaller. Down here it was the same. Best breaks are close and just South of jettys (ie. reef road). I don't even think Saturday will be as big but winds should be slightly less for Sat and settle to a 8mph by Sunday. Sadly, I don't think there is enough of a ground swell to carry it till then (except on nose crunching sandbars).

If only this low pressure was further away it would send swells without the damn E, S/E wind!
 
Just got back from Ponce. Waves were crashing over the North rocks. The swell would wrap aroung inside the inlet. Waves were big, but very disorganized, very choppy and crumbling from top to bottom. Shark shallows was big. I could not get out to there by boat.
Should be nice and clean Sunday morning.

this is deans frorecast at the surf station.hes usually pretty accurate


SATURDAY: Wind easing some and backing side-offshore from the NNW early, then onshore from the NE 4-15 mph once again by mid-morning with waves leveling off at 2-occ 3' in ENE ground swell.
SUNDAY: Wind calm to light NW in the morning, then E/SE 5-12 mph with waves down considerably but still a highly rideable 1.5-occ 2.5' ENE swell, dropping more size in the afternoon.
