Forecast

FLASH-- ONLINE TICKET SALES FOR FRIDAY'S SURFRIDER EVENT ARE DONE! Still some left to buy at the door. GET THERE EARLY.. (6:40 P.M.)

New forecast calls for increasing NE winds late Thurday into Friday. Should be plenty of slop-o-rama locally with the winds getting up to 20-25 knts and seas up to 9-10 ft. Winds shift more Easterly Sat and beyond.  Actually some of the models have the winds blowing pretty good well into the early part of the week (Tues/Wed).  Bread and butter for this time of year.

Make sure you make plans to visit the Garden for our double feature movie event. No need to say but they always sell out and you are guaranteed a good time with great food , spirits and tons of givaways (more than ever). Good chance you'll take home more than you came with. Preliminary food items include:

Raw delicacies From Raw foods Gourmet (awesome food)

Wild Atlantic (not farmed) Salmon with Swedish mustard Gravlaxsas

Chicken, two styles - Honey BBQ and pesto style

Wyatt's famous grilled Churasco (skirt steak)

Sweet butter potatoe mash (back by popular demand)

Chilean style salad with Cilantro, Tomatoe, organic red onion and Palta (avocado)

Garlic baby roasted potatoe

Spring mix salad

New forecast

Things are looking up.  SE winds hovering in the 20 knt range locally bringing us back to the ridable range . Forecasted to hold thru the day but drop off tomorrow. Things get alot more interesting for the weekend as a low meanders off the NE coast and drifts SE. Decent fetch of NE winds should bring a nice swell sometime Sat. More of a sideband swell so a bit of ifs in the forecast but it looks pretty good right now. Even Further out (180 hrs out) another round of NE winds shaping up. Lots of potential so keep tuned to our forecasts and reports.

Don't forget the Surfrider movie event next Friday. Its shaping up to be another great event. This time around there will be a healthy living undertone (a la California lifestyle). We are having a special food guest (Lou's brother in law) who owns a Raw foods Cafe. On top of that we will likely have some body work specialists and info on healthy/clean living. More info to follow but you won't want to miss this one.

Weekend forecast

Whooo hooo! we got waves coming. Before you get too excited remember that these cold front scenario's are difficult to predict swell wise. Especially when it comes to those bounce/refracto type ridables.  First real cold front of the season. First we have Offshore (West winds) turning NW sometime Sat. NWS is calling for 15-20 knt NW winds up the coast. Some chance of Refractory material but I would call it iffy at best. Sunday morning worth a check if the wind blows all night.  The other factor is posssible N/NW swell from the low off NE and the fetch . Even though the fetch is elongated, the models don't put it wide enough or staying in place for very long (actually kinda racing NE) . Still worth keeping an eye and ear out . Its N enough to possible sneak in down here but we all know how infrequent those are (Thats why we call them sneaker swells). Best bet for surf is the wind choporama coming Mon/Tues/and possibly Wed. The winds will clock around N-NNE-NE but likely won't go too E. Models calling for 15-20 kts maybe a tad higher. W'ell have to just wait and see. At least locally things will wake up a bit. NE wc is not exactly my favorite but what the hey, beggars can't be chosers. I'll be frothing at mouth soon.

 Enjoy
