Don't look at the cams if you can't get out

[stoneybaloney]

I made this mistake and now I want to take a reciprocating saw to my desk. FML :mad:

[LOSTsoul]

I wish. Instead I'm clinging to Sunday staying as it is now. I know that's unlikely though.

well i won't be on it until 1 or so. i have a spot or two in the back pocket if that's the case.

[Scobeyville]

Fck mah lyfe! whats a good excuse to duck out early?
explosive diareha, migraine, death???

[beaner]

i just spent an hour checking spots from bay head-belmar. It's not very good. A couple of corners here and there but long wait between sets and mostly closing out. Maybe incoming will be better...

When in doubt, default to Point Break movie lines. "Little hand says it's time to rock and roll", is a good excuse. No one can deny Bodhisatva.

Farther north in MB looks good right now. Later could be another story.

Inlet looks fun, but mid-tide 1pm should see things look better or less closeouts

[RobfromFredneck]

Its 10am and I'm sitting at my desk looking at the OCMD 48th street webcam. Right at low tide...conditions look AMAZING. Glassy and peeling barrels...mostly waist hight but some appear chest maybe shoulder closeout height. Very jeolous, but my 4/3 probably is probably going to have to wait another month or so for the water temps to come up about 5-7 degrees.

Yeah once it fills in a bit should be some nice peelers. I know I am leaving work soon with a all of the sudden stomach virus. :D

Actually, after watching for a few more minutes, they're bigger on avg. than waist high...looking more like stomach/chest on avg. with some shoulder/head high closeout sets every few minutes. The intervals look kinda close though so it might be a little tiring on the paddle outs.

mb looks liek crap

[Scobeyville]

:cool::eek:Ahhh my boss just told me i can leave at noon today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:eek::cool::eek :

It looks good whenever I click the cam.

[LBNJ Local]

Surfed LB this morning, it was ok... Fast and closing out on set, but some fun little corners. Checked everywhere from South LB to the hook. MB def not working, at all. Nobody on it out there either, wierd... I'm getting out of work as soon as I can!

Hopefully the afternoon is better!

[LBNJ Local]

UPDATE: FIRING!!!

The bros are pumped and I'm at my desk still.... About to do the "Irish Exit"

i surfed yesterday afternoon in a 4/3 and vest underneath and was plenty warm - you can do it :D

[ECSURFR]

You should be fine in a 4/3. I used to only wear a 4/3 up until last year i bought a 5mil with attached hood. Previously i wore a 4/3 ripcurl core fireskin and it didnt even have an attached hood.

[MATT JOHNSON]

No go for me today been at work since 8am and will not leave til 8pm plus a hour drive each way .

Making $$$$$$$$:D

[stoneybaloney]

Earliest I could get in the water during the week is 445pm. That would give me about 30 minutes tonight. :rolleyes:

[Zippy]

OCMD looked way too fast and closing out in the morning. Probably much better in the afternoon with more water.

[LBNJ Local]

THIS SUCKS!!!

I'm so obsessed with the cameras at this point there's really no point of me being here.

PS: Irish Exit = Failure: boss caught my ear on the way out the door.

Boss: "where you heading"

Me: "Not gonna lie, waves are firing and i want to go get some, all my buddies are all over it"

Boss: "All of your buddies must not have jobs"

Me: "True"
Really thinking - $hit!

That's the bottom line man. The woman behind me has to notice me Alt+Tabbing between this site and Excel every time someone comes to my desk. :D

Just got out. Waves were SUPER fun. Nobody was out..... just me and my buddy. :confused: They were starting to line up pretty nicely too.... 1 hour before dark was epic.

South OC was rolling man! Morning was a blast with more barrels, then when the tide came up it was peeling in. So nice! I was out for 4 hours and suffered a leash plug snap in between sessions. All in all it was amazing! One dude surfing near me said it's the best he'd seen that area in years.

Yeah, I have no doubt of that. I'm too old and too slow to my feet to make the best of a quick barreling wave. I prefer a little tide that fattens them up a bit and gives me more time to get going. Glad everyone got some good waves, I would have done it this afternoon but family duties kept me home.

[old_boy]

Great afternoon session in Manasquan. Everyone was getting waves, a couple of head high sets, good vibe in the water. Great day!

just got monmouth county so so good. surfed from 1 - 4:30, just me and my buddy trading waves all afternoon. before dark was definitely epic. can't ask for more

[surfde]

its about head high and some pretty decent barrels. guys were getting full on shacked

this is truth! i managed to squeeze in a quick session after school. stopped at my mechanic to have him look at a minor coolant leak, then off to the waves! was out from about 4:15 till dark, just me & a few other guys. very, very fun surf! :D:D

gotta say that as a teacher, i LOVE finals week...none of the kids ask to stay after for help & i can grade exams anywhere!


oh! & i found out today my tentative trip to the maldives this summer is ON! so stoked i can't stand it!
