Got up at 5AM and drove about an hour to find this:

Would you go in or save your tardy excuse for another day?

I once did an all night trip to hatty (6 hours) with some friends, checked the surf, and after being dissapointed turned around and went home.
Well, I actually surfed for about an hour or so, even tho the other guys didn't get in.
Where did you go? Some swell showing on the Montauk buoy.

I went to Long Beach.
When I left, the Hotel bouy was showing 3.9ft @ 5 sec...I figured it was worth a gamble that it might get stronger and with the nice N breeze of 5 mph it could've been a lot of fun.:o
By the time I got there, I see the historical of the buoy showing that it went down to 3.6 @ 5 sec :mad: It looked real weak and it was breaking on the shore, so I saved my excuse for a better day ;)
...it seems that the swell got stronger throughout the morning, but I had to go to work...maybe will have a decent swell with favorable offshore winds later in the week :confused:

I drove from Cobble Hill...left just before 6AM, but there was an accident in the BQE that delayed me 'bout 10-15 min. I was at Atlantic Beach a bit before 7 AM...it looked like it was going to get good, too bad I missed it :(
Where did you go in?
I'm wondering if it'll be on tomorrow AM around the same time? :confused: Conditions look similar...
