These mild winters are terrible. I remember a couple years ago the winter was so consistent in New England. So far this winter is shaping up much like last winter. Mild temps and calm oceans.
A lot of us got spoiled in the Fall... but its pretty normal to have flat spells in the winter regardless of of it being a relatively active or inactive season.
ENSO-neutral conditions expected to persist through winter and into spring. That means no El Nino or La Nina predicted in the Northern Hemisphere, and "normal" patterns of both smaller windswells and major storms in general.
I will get out this weekend. I surfed last weekend, but I've been missing out on waist high glassy goodness this week because of work. I'm starting to dislike my co-workers, and I have a permanent scowl on my face whenever I'm here
No freakin' kidding!! Skunk city! Can't remember when I last surfed! Supposed to be good Sunday though....
Its funny. Last fall, when I scheduled my surfers ear surgery (no surfing for two months or so) for late December it was completely because the past few years December has rocked with swell, and right after Christmas we have gone into this long spell of offshores every winter. Three weeks post surgery and so far I really haven't missed any waves except once on the 27th.
