Hurrican Felix back in that magical hurricane year of '95.
The 11 second average swell period was much better this afternoon/evening compared to the past 2 days in central Jersey. It got good before dark.
Shot this one empty one down the beach away from the crowds before heading out. Water was tropical this evening with lots of clear 3-4" size jellies. Can't understand all the wetsuit gear being worn when the water is that warm other than to minimize rash?

Surf averaged in the chest to shoulder high range with head high sets.
