    I have not been able to hit the surf at all this summer due to lack of waves, with a twist of work. Should I make the two hour trip to OC this weekend based off the swellinfo report for saturday?

    Go for it, there will be some surf to play with on sunday. But dont bother surfing at popular spots, it will be insanely crowded. There should be enough size to go to breaks of less quality and of course fewer d-bags!

    Not trying to be a smart ass but there is a button at the top of the page that says FORECAST on it, give it a go... see what happens, it could answer all your questions, I checked and by the looks of the area you are going, it should be fairly obvious if there are waves coming or not.

    if you haven't surfed all summer, i'm sure some bobbing around in some windswell will do you justice

    hes just asking if people think the swell will hold true to the forecast most likely because last weeks was a bust for a lot of places and he doesnt want to make a 2 hour drive for nothing.

    I understand his question but thanks for clarifying. My point was his guess is as good as ours if you are looking at the forecasts available. I too have a 2hr drive on Sunday (every week i do), so i'm not trying to get skunked, you gotta utilize the tools available and make your education decision and then from there you either go on faith that the report is accurate, which if you are looking at SI of Surfline, it's almost always on point, so not much to worry about if it's looking good up until the point that you go out the door in the morning. Having HD Cams from Surfline helps me as well, but not everybody has that luxury I guess.

    This has to be the most popular thread, it's reborn and reworded every week.

    Does that translate as going to a museum with Tim Tebow?

    I was supposed to get married on sunday but I just told that crusty b*tch to hit the road because of this swell. Oh boy I'm stoked yo. I'm about to pack up all of my boys into my new escalade on twenty fo's with all of our brand new al merics and this super fly new clothing that my mom just got me for back to school. WHen you are a big boy like me you can move inland and make trillions. I don't paddle out unless it's like DOH because of the drive. Maloha, f*cking surfers

    It's already huge at my break, check it yo, DOH for sho DOH.jpg

    Tebow's too much of a little girl to get anywhere near a dinosaur, much less wrangle one.

    I'm forecasting tall cold ones and provocatively dressed young ladies at the beach bar. Always a good fallback. But the surf will probably suck!

    When someone start's off with "not trying to be a smart ass" a smart ass response is sure to follow
