Looks like you have some nasty boating conditions coming this Thursday
and Friday.

What area is 37 25'N 76 15'W? They're predicted to get 10-12 foot seas
Thursday night!


The general area is around the ocean entrance to Chesapeake Bay from the
Atlantic, includes the DelMarVa Peninsula, Norfolk, Chesapeake Bay
Bridge-Tunnel, extends down past Virginia Beach. Surf's up!


Hang 10.



You can bet the serious surfers will be out in it, at the south end of
Virginia Beach near Rudee's Inlet, and on the other side of the inlet.
They live for these waves.


Before you head out on the water next time, try checking that site I listed
and tell me if you find it as accurate as I have.




The charts I saw cover the bay from the Potomac River south. They don't get up
to the mid- and northern-bay areas. Personally, I think the 8-10 foot wave
predictions are garbage. Those would be making worldwide news as the "Chesapeake
Bay Tsunami"!

Here's the NWS prediction for the northern end of that area:
