High surf advisory?

Post by RickG »

I saw a blurb on wunderground about a surf advisory. It looks like things might kick up a bit?

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.ph ... 2=-64.7931

http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/st_thomas shows the wave direction shifting to the north.

I hope we don't have another north swell!!

Cheers, RickG

One positive if there is a north swell is that the bubbly pool will be 'working'. I wish you and the gang a fabulous vacation!

I do use the windfinder site you mentioned but the surfers tell me -- www.magicseaweed.com is their predictor.
Real time I use www.ndbc.noaa.gov --buoy 41043 - this is a northshore buoy that is spot on for waves and swell.

Duh -- how do I zero in on buoy 41043?

Thanks!
