two yamaha 115s, 25 foot 1986 whaler, my friend is the original owner...built to last. we've been beating ourselves up for 40 years....we had enough gas and plenty to spare. we did bring an extra ten gallons in case we had to run to the stacks, that's where all the fish are, but that's getting far for us. but we go far down the jersey shore too; there are no fish left in raritan bay just the fall striper run. so we often have to go to the shrewsbury rocks or the mud buoy or the donut, where the old ambrose tower was. needless to say, the marine forecasts can really mess you up when the get it wrong; and they often don't mention big swells from offshore storms, which can make you sick in a hurry. we also will fish coney island and the rockaways if the fish are there. 

That’s where I fish, off the eatons neck coast guard station. Good fishing out this way by that rip.

yeah we really thought we had wasted the day until around 1 pm, when it laid down. i mean, ya gotta admit that was a long boat ride. raritan river to the arthur kill, kill van kull, ny harbor, east river through hell gate, and into the sound...and we still had to go a little distance in the sound as well. but it was still better than sitting at the gw bridge for 3 hours....or getting stuck on the cross bronx.

That’s a very long ride. Did you refuel on the way back? What size boat/engines?

took a ride by boat from sayreville nj friday to the western sound....was fishing by some lighthouse east of new rochelle....wind was snotty in the morning and not what we expected, but it laid down by afternoon. wound up with about 25 keeper porgies, not great but not bad, given the early winds. left the dock in nj at 6 am didn't get back til 9 pm due to the late bite; we left the sound at around 6 pm. had to go slow in the dying light through the east river and harbor. water felt a bit cold to me but it could have been the east wind cooling the surface....

The marine forecast have been crap all summer. It’s always windier and rougher than forecast

Ocean temp is still in the low 70s at the beaches. Had quite a few rescues yesterday in this area 

 My kids were swimming off the boat on the north shore yesterday. Some of the protected harbors still in the mid 70s by late afternoon on the warmer days 

82. Summer hanging on?

Top 10 day today. Simply incredible on the water. 

77 today. Light showers now

This tropical season is a complete dud. Good for the insurance companies 

Lol

80 and sunny. Absolutely perfect weather

I agree with you but overall, the EC AI did not buy into the initial Sunday-Monday EC EPS  closed low aloft scenario...admittedly as we mentioned... highly unusual pattern evolution.

I am curious as to the multiple ensembles with sct showers Saturday (FOUS has LGA 90% RH at 60 hours 00z Sun) and it still looks like sct or widespread  showers ahead of the seed moving short wave Sunday. 

Middle of next week might also have closed low feature in mid ATLC.  For now will monitor what might transpire. 

Upton has a dry weekend east of the city. 

Water levels are high on the north shore. Probably a 1.5 feet above normal. Stiff breeze as well 

0.01

77 today

Crazy, I got to 54 degrees in Queens, only 3 degrees warmer than you 

Yes, the wind stays up on the hill a bit. I radiate very quickly after dark but at some point before dawn the wind creeps up 

50.8. New spot on this hill doesn’t radiate as well as the old house which was in a lower lying area. 

51.0

2.25” storm total here. Should keep the grass green into October 

2.15”, based on radar 3” isn’t out of the question. Major short term bust

2.07”

1.79” so far, 2” possible. Big model bust out here

Did no model have the extensive rain we are currently seeing? Some were better than others but nothing really had this blossoming on radar. 

Most models had the real rain tomorrow morning. 

Only the GFS. Up to 1.40” now

Looks like the rain really blossomed for you on radar in the last hour

Up to 1.27”. Over performed out here and still a long way to go

So much for the models having nothing for Suffolk   GFS is looking good

Yup. Only the GFS had this

Solid drink, up to 0.87”. Hasn’t rained like that in a long time.
