I would like to thank all the forecast pages for missing this swell today. Just me and a buddy of mine had miles of open water with pumping head high sets all day! Kooks (not talking about the forecasters) missed this one!
Hell yeah, it was firing today... I was watching the cams all day pissed off because I couldn't paddle out due to my back injury. Glad to see someone enjoyed it yeewww
I was eyeing the gilgo cam around 11 am it looked decent but I didnt want to chance wasting gas for knee high...thats what bunger reported anyway... tough to tell the size on the cams too...damn. Glad you were out there though man...maybe tomorrow will be the same lol *crosses fingers*
went checked it at 130 it was firing. came back with my stuff and it was closing out in the shore with legit 14 people out! should of went earlier
I got a solid three ours out there today. Only about one of them with good wind but there were some solid waves coming in and no one surfing, I love that part the most.
14 people out ... thats not that big of a deal .. by the time i got done it was mobbed with around 40 heads
over reacting about today.. did nobody else get blasted off the waves from the 25-35 mph winds that picked up hard around 1ish????
to busy shaping to get in the water, saw the cams looked pretty good, drove by avon and belmar on the way to work...
I feel your pain bro, I have a vertebral subluxation.. just a fancy way of saying my entire spine shifted forward and threw off my nervous system causing me severe pain and difficulty breathing. But anyways I couldn't get in the water today either... It's torture
I surfed yesterday and today here in VB. I was hoping there would still be some size today, and it was suprisingly fun today (waist-stomach), with the high tide push. I was praying that the afternoon thunderstorm would stay away, and it did. Fun, the drive home was slow and mellow, one of those afternoons stoked!
Forecast for outer banks today was waist high. I had to go down anyway to pick up a board so I figured I'd stop off and check it on the way down after hearing a swell interval on my NOAA radio of 13 seconds offshore. I made a good choice. A real good choice. The only two people in the lineup were both carpenters working on a condo on the beach and decided to ditch the hammer and nails.
Thanks dude I'm way ahead of you haha... Lookin to get back in the surf game on monday Hoping for some swells
We had wind pick up for an hour but it didn't mess up the conditions. Today was really pretty good...especially being unexpected.
Totally agree. I am so happy that I was able to get out for a few hours after work. Definitely the best day in the last few weeks and the fact that it wasn't crowded (like Sunday) made it even better!
