Looking at Noon & 3pm, is the thing that takes it from 5-stars to 3 the fact that the wind picked up?

Yeah they're amazing shots. I found it fascinating how the lip is too thick to feather and there's barely any foam when it hits the trough. Looks otherworldly.

casey Joined: May 18, 2006 Posts: 520	Posted on Feb 27 2015 09:14 PM Hey Badger, as Carol said the wind does come up usually in the afternoon. The chart is from Magic Seaweed, basically they note the forecast swell quality by the number of stars, and then they decrease the shading on some of the stars to indicate less than optimal conditions, usually too much wind and/or wind from the wrong direction. If you look carefully you'll see that there are still 5 stars, but 2 of them are very light. 5 star swell, 3 star conditions due to wind. Last edited: Feb 27, 2015 21:14:53 Top
Badger Joined: Nov 16, 2013 Posts: 4536 Wisconsin	Posted on Feb 27 2015 09:34 PM Ah, ok, got it. I thought the light stars were just empty (like when you rate an online purchase). Cool, thanks! Magic Seaweed huh? (I used to get tangled up in that when I was kid...) Neat web resource. Some quiet time w/coffee in the morning. — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.
