Swell Direction |
Sunday
2/7 |
Up slightly |
NW 15+ early |
East swell 4.0 ft @ 9 secs early
A strong gale is forecast tracking east off Cape Hatteras late Saturday quickly generating 40 kt east winds aimed well at exposed breaks but not getting too much traction on the oceans surface. Possible east swell pushing into exposed breaks early. |
3.0 ft |
85 degrees |
Monday
2/8 |
Down |
NW 20 early |
No swell of interest forecast
Swell from previous days fetch is to be gone. The gale itself is to be well on the way to Europe with weak high pressure settling over the Great Lakes making for only a light northwest flow and offering no real swell producing fetch. |
1 ft or less |

Tuesday
2/9 |
Down |
NW 15 early |
No swell of interest forecast
A new front is to be setting up in the Gulf generating south winds at 15-20 kts late offering some odds for south windswell in the day ahead. But mostly broad low pressure is to be east of New Foundland generating only brisk northwest winds over the Northeast and offering no swell generation potential. |
1 ft or less |

Wednesday
2/10 |
Up some |
E 25 late |
Possible east windswell 6.8 ft @ 6 secs late
The new front is to produce a solid gale over the Northeast generating 30-35 kt west/offshore winds south of there and offering no swell production potential but some east fetch is to be wrapping around the north quadrant at 20 kts possibly setting up a short bit of easterly windswell late. |
3.5 ft |
75 degrees |
Thursday
2/11 |
Down |
NW 30 late |
East windswell 4.0 ft @ 8-9 secs
The gale over the Northeast is to really bloom while lifting northeast with hard 45-50 kt offshore winds forecast over Cape Hatteras and producing no swell. Maybe some residual east windswell is to continue, but that seems more like wishful thinking. |
3.0 ft |
80 degrees |
Extended
Outlook |
Down |
--- |
That storm is to continue pushing slowly east with 45-50 kt northwest winds all offshore relative to the US East Coast. Some fetch make take aimed on the Caribbean Islands , but it will be short lived if it does with the most energy tracking towards Europe. No swell expected for a while. |
