Crazy storm across Assawomen wildlife area on the Delmarva.     

Two special marine warnings

0.10 here in 21057. Was able to get my sons doubleheader in. 

[WEATHER53]

Cold again at 12:30 am 48F and wind chilly

Heat is back on. Did not know the winds would howl like this.

Finished with 0.66”.  If we could do that every 3-4 days through summer that would be great.

I enjoy a day like this heading into the latter part of Spring. Great day to be outside mowing, gardening, etc without sweating. I'll put up with the wind. Feels like an October day. Probably only a few more like this until we actually get to October.

You don’t have an auto setting on your thermostat?.

We do but we’ve had the windows open for days so we turned it all off.

Want to seal our patio. Low temp apply threshold is 50 degrees. Currently 56 here but the patio is under the deck and on the west facing side of the house so am thinking I am going to wait for one of the 60 deg + days this week to do it. Honestly though I really hate wind and I think that is helping me make my decision.

68/30. Will commit crimes for that combo in a few short weeks.

Wow. Is it just me or have the winds this month been quite cool? Like all the breezy/windy days it's been a very cool wind (can we have this in July? Lol)

These would be excellent offshore surfing winds in a couple months, granted not as strong though.    

 

current surf conditions are:

Surf easing for PM hours with breezy offshores knocking down the surf

We have plenty of rideable lines sticking around the knee to thigh high zone early PM with standouts in south Ocean County consistently hitting waist high. Winds are breezy WNW-NW so conditions are clean, but looking racy/challenging on the low tide early PM.

Swell drops out through the PM with winds shifting more NW over the afternoon/evening hours so bring a longboard that can get you into the small surf through the stiff offshore breezes.

This week looks warm but not excessively so heading into May. Mostly mid to upper 70s for forecast highs here, with Wed and Thurs being the warmest days at around 80. Being 5-10 degrees above historical avg is pretty typical in these parts anymore.

Interesting looking at the East Coast surf zone temps compared to 2024 and also reviewing the Atlantic basin as a whole.

The Atlantic is near 2 degrees F cooler than last year on this date, lesser hurricanes activity is a possible outcome, however,  the near shore water temps actually are somewhat above 2024 at this time. Beach season may arrive earlier this year.
