November 10, 2010 - The wind that began blowing from the north on Saturday November 6, has continued into its fourth day as a full fledged Nor'easter with Victory-at-Sea, Force-7 gale conditions. Waves driven by the relentless north wind are maxed out along the National Seashore with near-beach faces in the 10' range. Offshore, beyond Georges Bank, the seas will reach 30' tomorrow afternoon through Friday.
Even if the Harbor Master hadn't sent out the word, the weather has announced in no uncertain terms that Boating Season has officially ended.
This northeast wind will continue to blow hard through Thursday and then diminish slowly into Sunday when, blessedly, it is forecast to still be blowing from the north at a mere 5mph under skies that have opened to the sun.
Waves will still be overhead range on Sunday and will drop to chest high on Monday. One week from today the forecast shows a new head high swell coming up from the south.
