Doing a little surf break investigation to tweak some of the parameters for this forecast. And some point break surfing of course.

Sharing my slightly older surf drone and coastal edits from the last couple of years to hopefully help grow my new surf forecast channel. At the very least some cool visuals of our beautiful coast. Please share if find pleasing.

Channel Started. Introduction/Background video. In depth video on Surf-Metrics.com products will be released tomorrow. We'll start surf forecast in early March after a long-planned surf trip to Barbados. Perhaps a quick East Coast surf outlook video before the trip.

A lot of content is coming soon. I'll be using this as my main communications channel for demos and in short time, at least a weekly wave forecast segment for East Coast surfers.

Really cool surf size probability maps for Pipeline. Designed to look like waves and it really shows when the wave forecast has size.

Update for this second morning of the Lexus Pipe Pro window. I'm humble enough to know local knowledge is missing here and it could be off, but finding these predictions are consistent with Surfline. Local knowledge aside and focused on the level of agreement in swell size S-M call is marked stars.

Just sharing some exciting developments. As things code-wise are stabilizing I finally got to the Super Ensemble idea and had the first automated population of the database this afternoon. I'm testing about half of what will be 120 wave model runs out to 16 days. 60 wave estimates for 1 time.

Fairly satisfied with the performance and usage of SpaghettiWaves so far for the Lexus Pipe Pro WSL CT starting today. Using the uncertainty/spread in the model runs as guidance we posted last Sat that agreement was inline to run heats late Tue and Wed with wind becoming favorable and 7' NNW swell.

Steamer Lane proxy has been seeded and enough data for a cool look at the extended forecast. Example here is the strong certainty out 7-8 days with some trending slightly smaller, but still high quality. Then high uncertainty past 10 days but hints of at least one overhead swell over multiple days.

New "Evaluation" is the past 30 day observed surf (red) and every model prediction. Colors are the age of the forecasts where hot colors are recent. So much info, but this clearly shows the model overestimates peak surf events a few days out and even within a day. Wrightsville Beach, NC

WSL Pipeline Pro window approaching early next week. I think this last shows clearly how relying on a single forecast can fail in many cases. Surfline had Pipe at 8-12 ft for the first day of the event in the forecast yesterday and 3-4 today. Truth, models have not lock into a reliable forecastyet.

Made a ton of progress to a resting point on the products as I catch up on the computing side. I'll have all of this running (minus the website) on a raspberry pi about the size of a phone by the end of the weekend. Then work towards two goals 1) Expand the surf breaks and 2) Super Ensemble product.

Decent verification for Yaupon,my home break. Surf zone estimate peaked just shy of head high. It takes that to break past the pier. Ocean Crest was bigger and the algorithm had it peak at 7 ft. Buoy maxed at 11 ft south swell 9-10 sec.

Surf-Metrics is running in experimental mode now for 2025. Will be using feedback and my own testing to refine the algorithms and pull in new datasets. I just added high resolution wind for the first two days of the forecast period as an example. Probabilistic forecast next.

Interactive SpaghettiWaves development has evolved nicely. Working mainly on a way to get these out for testing. I've got multiple surf breaks in the database and tide tables for automatic inclusion in the data stream.
Testing so far has exceeded my expectations. This is just a snapshot.

For North Carolina and other East Coast surf spots, the next best shot at waves are exactly a week from now as southerly winds up to 25 kt ahead of strong low will produce wind swell Thu into early Fri morning when cold front shifts winds offshore at most spots. Nice timing with shift at sunrise.

Hello world! SurfMetrics is born. I'll be working over the next few months on an advanced surf forecasting tool for your home break based on ideas and work done many years ago in a previous life. This tool will be complementary to existing surf forecasting companies like Surfline.
