FORECAST OVERVIEW

Late Week-Weekend

FLAT

A combination of a massive, quickly strengthening storm in the Northwest Atlantic

and an equally impressive area of high pressure (larger than half the US Mainland)

is creating strong winds and flat surf for our region. While the wind is forecast to

slowly subside, the surf remains flat through the weekend.

LONG RANGE FORECAST

Next Week

SURF ALERT

I am currently watching another system behind this dome of high pressure that is expected to move across the Northern Tier of the US then move across the Great

Lakes on Tuesday. This should bring a small, prefrontal windswell by midweek.
There's another system directly behind the primary storm that could bring another,

more substantial swell event by late week.

Keep in mind that these predictions are riddled with issues (i.e. storm track and

strengthening, etc) that will affect the timing, wind direction, swell heights, etc but I w

ill keep you updated on the specifics as the data comes together. Stay tuned.

FORECASTERS NOTES

WTF is going on?

I'm gonna call it. So far this has been one of the worse winters for surf in the past

5+ years. Week-long (or longer) flat spells, short-duration swell events (some only lasting a few hours) and gale force offshores when the swell peaks have been a

siginficant issue since November.

Now, with the jet stream repositioned, funneling nearly every storm tracking east

out of the North Pacific and pushing them directly over our region, we are likely to

see more significant weather events than we've see in the previous three months.

On the flip side, this should bring an increase in swell events but, with the jet stream directly overhead, these swell events may be short-lived as they get quickly whisked out to sea. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

X-FACTORS

A serious issue that threatens to destroy many surf breaks in New Jersey are the multiple beach replenishment projects by the Army Core of Engineers. Right now,

in nearly every county in NJ, not only are these projects destroying our breaks, but they are adversely affecting the nearby surf-related businesses. Some of these breaks may take months or even years to recover, while others may never be the same ever again.

February and March are usually fairly busy months for weather and surf but this

That's a wrap for
the 2024
Hurricane Season

FORECASTERS NOTES
After the big predictions by both the National Weather Service and the University of Colorado, in terms of solid swell events, the 2024 Hurricane Season under-performed.

Back in late August, it started off strong with Debby and Ernesto but the rest of the season was pretty lackluster and definitely fell well below the predictions.

2024 HURRICANE SEASON PREDICTION

NOAA, the NWS and the University of Colorado issued the most aggressive hurricane season forecast on record for 2024 yet it fell far short of the predictions.

Check out the complete breakdown below:
23 named storms. 11 hurricanes. 5 major hurricanes.
