Forecast for 11/11 - 11/20
Looks pretty bad, unfortunately. The storm track for this weekend’s Nor’easter is right over our region and there’s no high pressure to interact with and focus the winds.
I’d keep an eye on Thursday evening for a quick wind switch setup with east wind swell in the water. Nothing great is expected, but that’s the only real window of surf for probably the next week or so.
We’re mostly looking at sustained offshore flow as the southern half of this low pressure system moves out of our region. A large region of high pressure moves in afterwards and keeps things looking pretty slow.
It’s possible we could see a coastal low late next week (~11/19), but that’s certainly not a sure thing.
Models have been suggesting a swell around 11/23 pretty consistently. Hopefully we see something then.

Probably the best day of the week as depressing as that is. Watch for a wind switch late afternoon/early evening and bring a big board.
Low tide lines up to make this as doable as possible.
I’d expect knee-waist, mushy waves.
Notes: Really short period, but surfable on a longboard.
Best board: longboard
