SpaghettiWaves

Surf Break: Wrightsville Beach – Last Run: 2025-03-08 18:00:00

Details

Narrative & Links

SpaghettiWaves is inspired by hurricane spaghetti models, which visualize the uncertainty in storm tracks. By applying this concept to surf forecasting, SpaghettiWaves aims to provide quantitative bounds and probabilistic estimates for both short-term and long-range forecasts, offering surfers a clearer understanding of the potential range of wave conditions. We plan video discussions of swell events in the future to promote the use.

S-M Wave & Wind Tables: Wrightsville Beach

Colored cells based on values. In most cases colors align mentally with conditions as in cooler colors of blues = calm, small, favorable – while warmer-to-hot colors such as reds-yellows = unfavorable except surf size.

Buoy

Surf Break: Wrightsville Beach

NOAA “buddy” buoy: 41110

Last 48 hours of buoy readings at the closest buoy to the surf break about 15 nautical miles from the beach. Note that surf size in tables may differ because these buoys are often offshore and surf size is estimated in the surf zone.

Narrative & Links

This visual provides an overview of the likelihood of surfable conditions at your chosen break over the next two weeks.

Check the tips for more help, but this is a simple “chance-of-surf” map for date/time and surf height level.

It uses ensembles to derive the probabilities from the wave models that surf at any spot on earth will be above whatever threshold we define. Fully Interactive!

Why??

What is this product?

This product analyzes past model wave forecasts against actual observed wave conditions (represented by the “model wave analysis” in red).

Motivation

Given the abundance of historical wave data, we can leverage past performance to identify trends and biases in current forecasts. The underlying assumption is that past performance provides valuable insights into future forecast accuracy.

Key Concepts

Historical Trend Analysis:
- Analyze recent swell events (e.g., last month) to identify recurring patterns like bias in max swell. I’m just now absorbing this new data but see cases where the model is over-estimating max surf height during bigger swells. Just one case but example of benefit from this look at historic data.
Forecastable Window Assessment:
- Determine the reliable forecast horizon. If historical data consistently shows poor model performance beyond 7-10 days, it’s unlikely to improve significantly in the near future without evidence of improved repeatability.

Key Benefit

This real-time update provides valuable insights into the current forecast’s reliability by evaluating historical model performance.
