Lots of fetch pointing this way, and both GFS & EURO unusually in sync in regards to the open ocean low. GFS ditched the carribean supercane, so hopefully we get some light wind windows (common theme this year).... could be battle of the weekend warriors next weekend. Everyone go get really drunk after work next friday

2 days in a row of real fun/challenging HIGH TIDE mid to shore pound. You can get a chip shot in on the big ones and they are unloading in the deep shore break....King tides are good for this windswell/swell event. knee to heah-high+ and everything in between,, Pulled back on some drainers that would have snapped a board...Drift S to N today (was N-S yesterday)...so more of the Storm sets are reaching the beach...GO!!! Water is warm!

Yeah, I went out for a HT "lunchbreak".... wasnt dumping as hard here (too high) but some chunky ones. wind was kinda light for an hour, so I got away from the desk and got some exercise. good to loosen up before the incoming........ Biggest swell of the season may come from a tropical storm.... solid fetch. BONERS: .

Epsilon is maintaining a healthy satellite appearance this morning after its rapid intensification last night. A 10-to-15 n mi-wide eye is evident in visible satellite imagery this morning, and 0815Z GMI 89 GHz microwave imagery shows a closed eyewall with deep convection surrounding the well-defined center. Objective satellite estimates from UW-CIMSS and subjective Dvorak classifications from SAB and TAFB support raising the initial intensity to 80 kt with this advisory. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft should be in the area this afternoon for a better estimate. Epsilon took a brief westward jog this morning, and its initial motion is now estimated at 285/10 kt. A mid-level ridge to the north-northeast of the cyclone should continue steering Epsilon toward the west-northwest today with a slightly slower forward speed. Then, another ridge is forecast to build to the east of the hurricane, which should turn the cyclone toward the northwest on Thursday and northward on Friday. Weak vertical wind shear and waters with marginal oceanic heat content could allow for some additional modest strengthening toda , and the NHC intensity forecast now brings Epsilon to a 85-kt hurricane in 12 h.

Decent sets rolling in on the cams. The swell looks hard south, even at the port.

That is very true... Swell from epsilon seems to be peaking over next few days, anyone have any thoughts of when might get a little breather in these on shores??? My usual thought is dawn patrol but seems like crazy windy even when I walk dog first thing in morning

-------------------------

get up early and go surf - it'll make that hangover go away and/or make the workday more tolerable :)

Washington Post (they have good weather coverage):
    On Tuesday morning, Epsilon was a 45 mph tropical storm; by early Wednesday, it had morphed into a Category 1 hurricane with 90 mph winds. It surprised meteorologists when it intensified into a high-end Category 2 hurricane with 110 mph winds early Wednesday afternoon, with a chance that it will reach major hurricane status as a Category 3.
    That significantly exceeds the criterion for "rapid intensification" of 35 mph or more in 24 hours. Epsilon jumped at least 50 mph in that same time frame

The 20 miler is 8.2 at 11. Swell certainly isn't a problem.

Loving the east wind.
