Who got good surf today?

What thread are you reading? Most posts are guys says they scored and that the waves were sick... A few from guys *itching that they had to work (sucks but understandable).... And a few from guys that got injured or had a rough time (due to heavy surf).
When surfing fairly heavy waves sometimes you will get skunked or injured. If neither have happened to you you're not pushing yourself.
Yesterday was real fun. Beautiful weather (though water is still FREEZING) and pumping surf. With it being a Saturday for an extra bonus.

If you only look the negatives that's all you will find. Most posts were about positive experiences. Hayzues would be disappointed.

 

Dang dude, you always post some great pics. You get some tasty looking waves up your way that's for sure!

 

Oh ya man. Great waves yesterday. Definitely 5-6 feet on the sets. I think SI underestimated big time. MSW was actually correct.

 

not this big tho....

 

Awfully quiet from the Southeast....and there's a reason for that!

Figured, hey, 10 degrees warmer in WB, CB, et. al., than VB & AI, so, rolled on the surf trek south. Some fun small waves on Saturday morning. And that was IT. Made especially ironic since last week in CR it was overhead on sets, clean & paddling down the shoulder of some tremendously fun tropical water waves.

Oh well, se la vie; always fun in the ocean. Glad you guys, esp Mitchell coming off his ear issues, scored mightily.

Spring just around the corner, so it all gets better & better, for a little while anyways.

 

leftovers today...and they were great. can't really say as they were leftovers at sunrise though as i think it was still mid-swell...mostly rights/backhands though as the tide was dropping and the rocks mid-beach skeeve me out when it gets decent (4-6) at my usual. but had one decent left, a couple right, a couple bails/pearls, and one fantastic right with some climbing and dropping to end it all the way in to the beach

 

Yesterday was the most fun I've had in a long while out surfing. Perfect lines, two foot overhead, bigger peaks, easy drops. Wave after wave. It was closing out most places but I knew where to go and got it so I am sooo sore from paddling. Only a few guys out and everyone was cool, hooting each other and long lulls between sets made for no worries. Today was lots bigger and more powerful, maybe 10 foot faces and ragged sets and a heavy drift. I paddled out solo,and saw 3 other guys out. Lost my board duck diving a big one way way outside at low tide and had to swim all the way in, and my wifes friend is standing there laughing at me as I come sputtering out of the shorebreak. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes it gets you. I will remember to get a better leash next time it gets big. It's only been a year. I love March!!!!!

 

Went out this afternoon for some leftovers and it sucked. Had some size, not huge, just disorganized and kinda funky. Sure wish I didn't work yesterday...oh we'll, win some and lose some.

 

made the drop but couldn't find the shoulder

Glad you guys scored like mad men on yet another weekend swell. 60F in Rhodey grommet? What was it in MA? Spring sprang when I've been out west here apparently. I've seen some beauty swell out here unlike the east but these winds are finicky. Hoping to score today on my final day and studying the charts right now with Erock's equation to see if WA or OR coast is the bet. Looks like we're getting some gnarl on Thurs in MA with that temp drop then some leftovers on Friday.

Hope all you salty braddahs take that stoke and have a good start to your week!

 

Northern NJ Jetties firing hit it from 9:45 to 11:15 muy bueno but time... Lets hope this is a sign of a good spring.

How about PR got down their for 4 days in Feb. and scored.. but this is the truth about the season in PR.

lmao...i'll take it! any upward movement is a good thing!

 

Yes bro. I always gladly take the increase. Yes, I'm charging liquid nitrogen if that's what's breaking that day. However, the percent increase per degree in the 30s is double that in the 60s. I can feel the difference in each degree until about 45, and being out there for each uptick of the degrees helps. When you get in the 50s then I can notice it every 2 or so. For the 6 days a year MA is in the 70s (poor Maine bastards) I can feel the difference from 71 to 74 not in between though.

 

It was good swell. Chest and bigger waves that broke fast and peeled forever. you had to time your paddle just right and when you dropped in it was a little wonky but if you made it passed the first section you were golden. I bet I blew as many waves as I made.

Have to say this though. I never leave the water on a bad wave. I could be shivering, exhuasted and late for something but i'll stay untill I get a good one in. Saturday, only after an hour and a half and a handful of good rides I dropped into one, dragged my boot while standing up and blew it. I hit the bottom, my suit flushed and I just went home. I'm just done being cold. This friggen winter is getting to me.
