i know its only a predition but...sunday was supposed to be ace,so i headed to anglessy and it was all blown out...found a bay and a wave so im a happy bunny...but today predicted nothing and hells mouth looked great! guess its just one of those things,but i could have worked sunday and surfed today.....

msw is a tool to use for forcasting not an absolute forecast so. its worth looking through all the different swells on the spectral data sometimes. its definately worth learning what swell conditions your local beach will work on just to make sure you dont miss a good day.

it does get the wind wrong quite a lot though.

I just looked over all the MSW forcast data and its all right... How did you come to think it was 'nothing' ?

Spectral shows its there too.

the report I used for a long time for my area was pacificwaverider.com and i soon realized it would say 8' swells.. and it really meant 8' swells divided by 7 LOL. so damn inaccurate.

i use wavewatch.com as it tends to have accurate swell info, and wetsand.com works well too. but thats just my area that I have had good luck with those.. never tried them for socal or europe lol.
