August 19, 2009 - Hurricane Bill is headed our way. The forecast chart from the US Navy (above) shows the eye passing within a few hundred miles of Nantucket and the Lower/Outer Cape around midnight on Sunday. A mile or two offshore the waves could be well over 25'. Closer to shore, because of the shallower water, the waves will max out between 10 to 18 feet depending on the bottom conditions and tide. High tides will see the biggest waves because deeper water will support them better. Day by day the forecast is as follows:Last Updated ( Wednesday, 19 August 2009 09:21 )
