..................................................................................................Quick brief Weather lesson for our fall/winter surf...
A LOW moving in the north east with tight isobars around the L.. (lines of equal pressure) The tighter the lines the stronger the winds. These winds from N to NE blow south over a 600-1000 mile fetch (or more) heading towards the SE coast of the US and Caribbean. The longer the fetch, the increased swell, period and duration of the waves on the beaches. This is why we get waves for us here and areas south and the Caribbean.. This is our winter wave pattern ...
So look for this scenario to set up thru the winter, see the buoy info in our area for wind, wave /period data and soon you can see a patterns develop and then you can expect when the waves will arrive. There are some weather links on the site to use as I do.. Thanks.... see you out there..
