The beaches can’t even take the next storm. Im currently watching the pacific blvd cam and and the waters to the boardwalk. All that sand added after sandy is gone.

We are both lynbrook guys now, and we for sure had at least a half an inch during the last storm. Im right at the northern tip of lynbrook. But the yard was def snow covered for a bit. So we aren’t striking out so to speak.

Well at least you get to see snow now that you moved. What’s terrible stretch for the island. Hopefully our one shot at redemption next week.

1/9-1/10 Now Morphing to Less-Than-Exciting Power Cutter
LongBeachSurfFreak replied to Torch Tiger's topic in New England
Exactly. It’s the extremely long fetch. Which builds wave periods above 14 seconds. Something usually only seen on the west coast. The next storm is going to cause big erosion issues. On par with 10/91 and 12/92 -
Another intense Great Lakes storm late Friday 1/12 with the brunt of 1" rain/shore gusts ~50 MPH Friday night, followed by widespread west gusts 40- possibly 50 MPH late Sat-Sun 1/13-14/2024. This serves as the OBS thread late Fri onward.

Check out the beaches, it’s getting really really bad. These storms have these huge Se fetch components. Which build enormous high period swells. This next storm could be the knock out blow for allot of places, especially fire island.- 90 replies

Very very severe beach erosion from what friends are telling me. Our life guard shack at Jones beach didn’t flood during the last storm but now has feet of water. As soon as I leave work at 2 I’m headed to lido, Long Beach. It’s gotta be terrible there.- 3,610 replies

Watching all the Surfline premium cams currently as it’s high tide and my God the beaches are being destroyed. It’s another super long fetch event.- 3,610 replies

Yeah, it was actually a legit emergency where I grew up. Busses couldn’t leave until the tide dropped and forget about parents in cars and station wagons in the days before SUVs. I remember being stuck for hours at mandalay elementary in wantagh as a 5th grader. Not to mention the winds were on par with sandy. That roar you never forget of hurricane force gusts.

That’s another monster fetch you just don’t see on the east coast. Major to extreme beach erosion is a lock, as tides are higher than the last event and this looks stronger.- 3,610 replies

I was just looking at buoy obs from down south and wow, there have been some seriously strong winds for a winter storm down there. 64 knot gust just south of Alabama. Seas are also pushing 20’ in the gulf. I think this is a real wind threat this time.- 3,610 replies

I’ll never forget being on the Long Beach boardwalk during March 10. Legit 70mph gusts will throw you around. I’m sure there was some intensity increase because of the buildings but it was unforgettable experience. Only other times I experienced winds of that magnitude were December 92 and of course sandy. I’m thinking more like 60mph here.- 3,610 replies

Honestly I would love to see an obs station setup on top the Nordstrom tower on the flat roof at 1550’. Sunday, I could see even the 500’ new buildings on the uws completely obscured in heavy snow, while we had white rain at the surface. I would have to imagine, that roof scored 6” of more, similar to elevations similar in jersey.
-
They haven’t done that well the last few years. You really need as much elevation as possible in our new climate. 1000’ used to be great, now it’s 2000’+. Which really cuts down options to the greens and whites. There isn’t much infrastructure above 2k in the Catskills or even Adirondacks. I guess the top of the Pocono plateau being above 2k can get it done, but they always seem to be to Far Sw in our current storm track.

Exactly, I actually banged out of work for the event to shoot some video of the largest seas since sandy. Unfortunately the sea spray was so bad visibility was near zero, so all I got was the roar and the shore break. But the erosion was incredible. Waves smashing off the dunes.- 3,610 replies

1.4” pwat in January is nuts. Someone’s going to be dealing with real deal river flooding where snow melt is also an issue. also, for the coast another huge fetch building monster seas by east coast standards. More beach erosion and wash overs likely. The last storm made 8 foot cliffs at lido beach, expecting that to get worse.- 3,610 replies
