Maybe you launch just north of the 1-2 footers?

You know.... I'm having some real issues with the different forecast out there.
I went out 3 days in a row and all 3 days the wind and swell forecast was way off on Surfline and seeweed. What was predicted as 8 to 12 was actually 18 to 25. I confirmed with with a lifeguard tower that had a wind gage. One of those days I was holding on to kelp to avoid being blown and big swells. I'm just going to double whatever forecast they make going forward. |

To rely on forecast. How little we have accomplished, we can't even get that right!

I think you guys are missing the point, they are called 'forecast' and or 'predictions' for a reason.

Cdip buoys said 3.5 feet at 10 seconds from the north. You Must have missed that one
I was out diving today. Took a heavy one on the launch.

the n.pac size at 3 feet and anything ten seconds and under means ill really have to time it. surfline forecast said the same thing...1-2 which was definetely the size if you are keen on "surf size" none of those sites are accurate but give you a general ballpark, all it takes is one look at the cdip models. http://cdip.ucsd.edu/?sub=nowcast&na...item=socal_now bookmark it. learn it. live it

All the forecast sites use the same computer models and they all underestimated wind swell this week. Happens a lot this time of year. If you really dont like surf launches you could check the CDIP model before you leave home. You may be able to save yourself a trip.

I get that but if the weather predicts it's going to be 70 degrees and it's off by 20 for a few days you stop listening to it. When I head out I look at the forecast to get an idea the conditions I will be facing as that will determine if I am going 4 miles out or 1 mile.
There has to be more accurate predictions out there if not what's the point. If not I would just stick my finger in the air and make my own forecast |

Never saw this before and will use it as well. Launched from county line as it was lowest surf I had seen in a while. Easy in and out for once. Thanks!
