I have a couple of photos here I took at Officers Club, last Thursday (9/8/11)  afternoon shots…And Maria’s waves are coming in for at least Tuesday thru Thursday, and probably a day longer.

Maria’s first noticeable waves will be in Tuesday morning.  Waist plus at the Cape, and it should be chest high plus down SouthSW winds from daybreak to 9ish, switching to NNW by 10 ish and onshore by 11 or so.

Wednesday could be some head high waves South and chest or less at the Cape.  Winds looking to WNW at daybreak, switching to NNW by 10 ish and then North.  Wednesday looks to be the swell peak mid-day maybe but it shouldn’t drop much on Thursday.

Thursday , possible chest at the Cape and shoulder to head high down South.   Might be slight offshore, but by Tuesday night I’ll have a more accurate wind guess 🙂

Same wave.

The photos were from last Thursday (9/8/11)In the morning it was about the same size as Wednesday but not as many open shoulders. More closeouts.  Size was still 1 to3 foot overhead plus, and started dropping by noonI took these photos around 1 PM, but they were still some really fun looking waves.  I have a lot to learn on camera settings 🙂
