I did? Damn. I need a copy of your calendar, it goes by way slower than mine. Where'd you buy it? I made a post maybe a month or so ago saying this is how it would go. "Bro it's October, wait till nov" "kook, it's only nov, wait till dec" "bro it's dec, barely cold, go snowboard" "you still with us bro? Feb is cold, go home" etc etc etc. Lol, you crack me up man. Tell you what, snowboard UT in dead Feb and we'll talk cold. So far, it's been chilly, maybe, on a bad day. I venture to say you don't know cold until you're over tree line doing car speeds wearing a neoprene mask because your face would need an ER otherwise. Cold. Dude you live in jersey. Tell me about those epic city closing 6" dustings you get 4 times a year. Brrrr. Get out the parka. Go eat a canoli Anthony.
ya buddy the 6' dustings you cant ride cause you just "graduated from the whitewash" like a month ago lolol sit the ****k down and go watch some more pop up videos on youtube
Lol. Oh man you really can't read can you? 2 weeks ago, a month ago, over the summer, last spring, make up your mind sweetheart. Jersey public schools. Poor kid. I bet you "tawlk real good guy, eyy ooogino"
Cold is relative to where you live. 50 degrees in Florida in the winter is considered dam cold, don't blame ya for complaining about the chill...but if I could have that here in the winter, I would take it. I hardly got to where my 3/2 this fall...maybe 3 weeks. The good- water stayed warmer longer. Surfed in my long sleeve short john up until almost the end of October. That was sweet. The bad- dam water got cold quick. A couple days ago, I think I read 48 inlet water temp with cold air temps to boot. Wearing a dam 4/3 now and the way weather looks in the future, the 5 mills will be coming out.
Dude Ryan! Sweeeet video- thanks so for sharing , looks like a great time- not only surfing but good family time! So the water is like crystal clear there?? How cold was it compared to a jersey mid winter swell??
The coldest day we had up there was 33F for a high temp. Our winters are statistically colder than theirs. People up there say it's not the cold, but the wind that gets you, something we learned right away upon landing with sustained winds around 30mph, and gusting higher than that out of the NE. Late August till early October is their peak watertemp. I was toasty warm in a 5/4/3 with a thermal on. Could have gotten by with a 4/3 with the weather we had last Saturday. Their water temps generally average from low 40s to low 50s depending on the month, whereas the watertemp here can drop into the 30sF. Obviously they are an island, whereas when cold air pours down from Canada there's no significant body of water to warm it up before arriving here.
Wow cool thanks bro! I would have thought it would be way colder then here! I guess it just stays cold longer... But not freezing. The views where really beautiful too!!! Thanks again for sharing!
Dude, I was put in the ocean and was in waves at 3 months of age. I have bodyboarded since age 4 However, I started surfing about 2 years ago. And after all this, (although I try to help people who don't know much about the sport) I consider myself unintelligent about surfing, a newbie, and a kook. And I probably will consider this for many, many more years to come. Everyone thinks/thought this way.... Except you. You started surfing barely 4 months ago. Think about that. You're going up against people who have been surfing for 40+++ years.
April, but who's counting. As for being totally green, **** man I'll say it from the rooftops. I wouldn't have words about it if I wasn't torn into from the getgo here for being new and asking stupid questions. Sort of set the tone for my stay. Got sick of the defensive, went on the offensive, Murphys law manifested, and here we stand. I'll admit it though, still greener than a leprechauns hat.
yet you talk like some one who knows something. I am willing to go on record saying THAT is why people want to tell you to shut the front door!
yes. just be yourself stop acting like someone your not we know your suck huge rhino balls at surfing we all have when we started just be humble about it don't act like your kooky peniis don't stink
Hey Ryan. Nice thread. Looks like y'all had a blast up yonder. And, hey SJB. Cool reference to the Huldufolk. Looked 'em up on the interwebs. Neat article on Wikipedia -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulduf%C3%B3lk SI taught me more stuff today.
You are tripping serious balls, 1. It's 50something right now, 2. it gets sub 40 in the winter months.
From Savannah this weekend: 4ft swell (thereabouts) Water Temp: mid 60s Air Temp: 48, with strong N-NE winds Wind chill: low 30s Used 4/3 suit, damned near unbearable Saturday, a hood was required with the NE blowing so hard. Changing out of the suit was particularly brisk. Sunday was somewhat better as temps rose into the 50s, although the water temp dropped a couple degrees between Sat & Sun. It was interesting, the sand was much warmer than the water...it actually felt great on bare feet when walking back to the car. But ducking under waves was continually teeth-gritting, water temps are pretty chilly for this time of year. Typically, water temps in the mid-high 40s are common during the winter here. Ice cream headaches are the norm on some days when a wave washes down your neck. We don't get a lot of great winter surf here like out on the west coast, some Low Pressure storms through Thanksgiving, and some strong NE storms into December, but not much during the first months of the new year. I know...nothing like the northern temps. But for those who think it never gets cold down here, sorry...WRONG. We're there already.
I dunno about that. Are you in NJ? Anyways, I am thinking NJ (early) may be chest high + and fun. But we shall see if it holds-up over night. Here you go: THIS AFTERNOON SE WINDS 15 TO 20 KT...BECOMING S 20 TO 25 KT EARLY...THEN BECOMING SW 25 TO 30 KT LATE. SEAS 3 TO 5 FT... BUILDING TO 5 TO 8 FT EARLY. MAINLY IN SE SWELL WITH A DOMINANT PERIOD OF 8 SECONDS. RAIN. VSBY 1 TO 3 NM...DECREASING TO 1 NM OR LESS. TONIGHT W WINDS 20 TO 25 KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 KT. SEAS 6 TO 9 FT. MAINLY IN SE SWELL WITH A DOMINANT PERIOD OF 9 SECONDS. RAIN EARLY IN THE EVENING...THEN A CHANCE OF RAIN LATE IN THE EVENING. VSBY 1 TO 3 NM IN THE EVENING. TUE W WINDS 20 TO 25 KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 KT. SEAS 4 TO 7 FT. MAINLY IN S SWELL WITH A DOMINANT PERIOD OF 10 SECONDS.
north carolina stays pretty toasty year round even when the air gets a little chilly. Never rocked a hood all 5 years i lived there unless i it was a frigid OBX day, and even then you can ussually get by with a 4/3 or 3/2.
