Surf Time!

[ECsponger]

Not even past 8AM and I already see 10+ in the water on the middle camera. Everyone has been frothing here the last few weeks I don't blame 'em. I never go there anyway just thought I'd share an observation.

Inlet Cam is so foggy you can't see a thing!

[stoneybaloney]

My local cam looks pretty good. I don't even want to look tomorrow when it cleans up and I'm still stuck at my desk. :(

[capesurfer]

i was checking it from the beach around that time...there were actually more like 20 heads in the water and the waves looked beat. checked like five other spots, then scored decent chest high punchy waves at the last spot we checked.

I just got back from OC I checked it up on the North end and there was tons of people out . Dropin were going on almost on every wave like someone was gonna flip the switch and turn the Wave Machien off???? I went up South a few blocks to Park Pl . I scored a really nice session . It was really mellow and there was some nice chest higt waves coming threw. Some times depending on the wind they were a bit bigger and they were lineing up nice . Definatly and good session

[njsurfer42]

north end oc is almost always a cluster...really gotta time it just right to get it empty or low #'s. i've had a few evening/sunset & dawn patrols up there, even in the summer, w/ relatively small crowds.
but i would generally prefer to go elsewhere, even if the waves are slightly smaller.

Yeah I came come to that concusion as well. The place I was at today was really fun . I think there was a total of 6 people out and eveyone was geting waves. It had a good vibe and good convo in between sets. It was definatly and Non competive vibe which I am all about. I think I might hit this spot more often and up by the pier more

there are places between the pier & sea isle that are better...somewhere.

i surfed w/ just 2 other guys & 2 guys who failed to get out (one of which didn't have a hood?!?) today.

[MATT JOHNSON]

Yeah I wanna get out of going to where I know there is gona be waves first. There are so many good spots from OC to Cape May that are never crowded and are really mellow . I do some more searching. I use to go to Nuns alot I alway had a good time there. One place I never ventured is Strathmere. I might give that place a peek next swell . If anyone has any good tips on that place pm me:D

[Recycled Surfer]

Nuns was a great place. Great surf for the 09 contest. The storms really beat the hell out of the beach. I hope it comes back. There are some good longboard spots at Diamond Beach also.

hopefully nuns will recover...a very fun break, but another of those "big name" breaks in cmc that gets too crowded for its own good. when i lived down there, i was a bigger fan of old man's, which is just a bit further north. a great logging wave.

looks like next weekend could be interesting... :eek:

Yeah it does I hope things clean up I was looking like a choppy mess earlier today

[NaturalMystic]

I was out there as well from about 2 until the sun went down. Had to take the hood down for a bit as it was pretty warm out. A much needed session. Some solid a frames coming in too. swell was weird at times with the two directions coming in.

[CSB]

Caught Frisco, NC absolutely firing yesteday, overhead offshore barrels. So fun. Didn't get any pics, but it was nearly perfect and mostly empty.
And down there, it was no gloves, no hood and sunny.

[LBNJ Local]

So much fun yesterday and not many guys out in Monmouth county. I had two sessions and both with just my bros; what a great day! now I'm at my desk itching to get out of here and jump on it again. I love all the camera talk on this thread, just get off your computer and get wet!!!

I'm in the same situation. My last class had work due every day! :(

[aka pumpmaster]

45 hours. is that all!!?? I'm running 50 plus every week.

[stoneybaloney]

That's all right now because I have night classes as well. With the time I spend on classes, I'm at like 55 hours per week. :rolleyes:

[aka pumpmaster]

I told my boss today I need like 2 weeks off and she owes me big time. might do a week in CR and a week in Vegas.

Ok just stop. Between the Jeep post, the Ashton posts, and this one - I'm neon with envy.

Completely jealous. I miss Frisco I love that area. And I'm jealous of the temps you had.

The 2 guys that I went out with yesterday both crapped out on me an hour into the water because they were so cold.. I was just getting started! One of them wears 7mm boots and a lycra sock under that and he said his feet were freezing. I wear 5mm socks and Im great.

[endlessummer89]

since I came home from school for break i've noticed that the breaks in northern monmouth county (excluding a few) have not been working at all, is this so or has the swell direction just been off?

It was unreal man. I thought for sure we'd be in for an afternoon of ice headaches, but it was unseasonably balmy. if you want some warm water, you don't need to head too far south, just around cape point. i'm just stoked the wind backed off way more than they said it was going to...
that said i've been skunked after driving all the way to frisco, but the past two times its been firing. lots of sandbars between the point and the ferry docks...

It's both factors. E ground swells are very fickle in NJ. I just surfed a break in that area for the first time yesterday since my friend is going to MU. I was not impressed at all. Nothing but big walled closeouts crashing on 5 inches of water. I almost broke my neck yesterday. It's so much better where I am. I scored a DP sesh this morning and had the break to myself :D
