    marine influence there no matter which way the wind blows...the sound is in the upper 70's....hard to cool down with that...here the winds blow from the north and it's cool air off the mainland.

    Warm water all around us certainly doesn’t help. Your latitude is important as well. Even CNJ has been toasty, so it’s not just the sound

    Storms weakening like usual before making it to the South Shore. Hoping we get rain soon it hasn't rained in 11 days here.

    Same. Very dry here.

    Yep hit a wall and then died once they moved this way. Typical, like so many times, and the flood advisory issued by OKX at 11:08 doesn’t look good either.  

    Yea saw that coming lol. It hasn’t rained in almost 2 weeks. Lawns be brown. Helluva way to run a flood advisory

    I first noticed it way back in July 2003. We had a solid week of powerful surging waves that seemingly came out of nowhere. Minor beach wash overs and swell periods of 20-17 seconds, something completely unheard of on the east coast. I looked around the North Atlantic and there was no tropical activity or storms at all. I figured it had to have come from a huge storm the week before that was unusually far north in the Southern Hemisphere. So I sent a question to Sean Collins the founder of Surfline and the king of surf forecasting. He sent me back a response on their “who knows” detailing the storm that caused the swell and how it’s entirely possible given the right circumstances. They have been talking about this current swell on their premium subscription forecasts for over a week now!!!

    We have had several smaller events since 03 but this is the only other that stacks up.

    Check out the swell periods on the NY Harbor Buoy. There are our typical local wind waves with the periods below 10 seconds and then the southern hemi swells with the periods over 13 seconds.

    I’ll be in Montauk tomorrow. I’ll check it out
