Saturday was one of the better fall days. Today is a different story. A cold front moved in from the upper mid-west, wind increased, turned North to Northeast and left Corolla with thigh high choppy sections. Air temp dropped down to 40 degrees last night. Current wind speed is 25 mph coming straight down the beach: NOTE: OF COURSE WE WILL BE OPEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH THANKSGIVING WEEK INLCUDING THURSDAY. GARY, COROLLA SURF SHOP
Surprise! The best surf I have seen since Nicole! Wave height is at least 2’ overhead. I took these pictures right at high tide. The paddle out will take a little effort but worth it. SO SURFING! NOTE: COROLLA SURF SHOP WILL BE OPEN EVERDAY INCLUDING THANKSGIVING DAY!!!
Today, the wind is out of the NNW which is an improvement over yesterday. I took the pictures at my home break an hour after high tide. Wave height is waist plus with semi-glassy conditions. Corolla has a beautiful Carolina sky (not a cloud to be seen) with air temps moving into the low 60’s. This could be a decent longboard as long as the wind stay off-shore: NOTE: WE ARE NOW OPEN FOR THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS WITH 40% OFF SALE. GARY, COROLLA SURF SHOP
All that it takes is a switch in wind direction. Currently the swell and the wind are out of the ENE. This means the section are breaking at 45 degrees angle to the beach with the wind pushing the back of the sections over. Wave height is about waist high. An on-shore wind has cooled down air temps: NOTE: COROLLA IS HAVING A PADDLE OUT FOR “THE DUDE†AT 3:00 TODAY AT DOLPIN STREET. GARY, COROLLA SURF SHOP
