Forecast for 11/8 - 11/14
All eyes are on next weekends (~11/14) potential Nor’easter. Currently, the big two atmospheric models are showing a storm track that would essentially yield no waves for our region (as well as most of the east coast).
The ICON and CMC (German and Canadian) models are showing a more southerly storm track that would be more destructive, but would yield surf.

Overall wave heights are going to give a false impression of wave heights for Monday. I’m doubting there’s anything worth showing up for.
Best board: longboard if it comes together.
Tuesday - Thursday
Flat
Looking Ahead
Possible Nor’aster around 11/13 or 11/14. More info as things develop.
