NOAA got it right!

To all the people who criticize NOAA forecasts they got this one right! LOL
Seas are easy 10-12 footers breaking ¼ mile off shore at high tide.
Wind is better than 25 knots, the flag on the bridge is standing straight out.
The Shark River Inlet jetties are underwater due to tide surge.
Thank you NOAA!

wow,, thats ugly...

I'm not hating on NOAA here but usually when the s*** hits the fan they get it right. Really heavy weather, like 2 weeks of Easterly ending in a straight up Nor'Easter seems easier to figure out than the more subtle changes we get annoyed about. Overall they do a good job but sometimes we curse them, like when they say NW 5-10 and we run west only for it to change to SE

You think so? I was down friday when they were calling for gusts to 50. It was windy but nothing close to 50.

[Pauls1976]

Windguru had it forecasted perfectly

Don't know where you were but we had gusts past 50 here Friday AND Saturday!

Funny. Unfortunately NOAA is always predicting the sh*t will hit the fan. They are not even 50-50 on accuracy. And it's always blown favoring exaggerated devastation.

When you blow it all the time, people lose faith in you being reliable even to believe. That's even worse. .

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Or as my old man used to say: "...Even a blind chicken finds something to eat once in a while."

If you think about it, you or I will likely have the same or better accuracy rate always saying the sky is falling.

What annoys me most about NOAA is they don't update blown forecasts. They will play the clearly wrong forecast all day long on 162.55MHz. Wasn't updates the reason humans stopped doing the recordings in the 1990's?
