    Did you catch DOH shacks, or were you mopping out your basement with your car stuck in a 10 foot drift?

    I had a good big clean session in Maine on Sunday, but that was really it for me. I thought Monday was going to be the *day*, but conditions in NH never really came together unless you got out at the crack of dawn. Onshore wind got on it early which wonked it out, and it was just okay. Seemed kind of a waste, all that ocean energy for sub-par conditions. I got in a lot more surfing from the last 2 swells with better conditions, then what Jonas delivered.

    How did you fare?

    Got out Monday and the size dropped quick. Waves were closing out pretty bad, but if you could get WAY out on the shoulder, you were ok. Oh yeah and really mushy in the morning. But, I still had fun

    Sunday was fun, really fun. But mostly lefts, which ya know.

    Yesterday was empty, mega high tide, and still chest high. It was breaking on the rocks, but my god was it fun

    Unfortunately my skin in my nether regions is letting me know that I spent a little bit too much time in my wetsuite. I hoping this weeks clipper swell is a windblown mess so I can dry out

    Pretty much too mixed up and un-managable outside of lucky placement Sunday, and long drawn out closeouts yesterday. 100% bust for around here, but we did get some amazing sandbars.

    i had a really good time. two days of solid over head surf in the mornings with a chest high glass off sesh in between. plus i got to surf a left point that is normally a right point over some slabby rocks with no one out when its usually the second most crowded show in town. Novelty!

    oh and i took my shortboard out for the first time since i blew out my knee. I feel ready for puerto, the westcoast and hawaii, fate willing.

    Fantastic...but far from my best season ever

    Sunday was real punchy, although the end of the session faded quickly with the outgoing tide chopping up the inside...caught some of that on one right-backside and ate it face first...but managed to end with a super long carvy right backslider so it made sitting out for an extra hour to get it worth it

    Yesterday at the well known spot in the am just before high tide (that's when I managed to get out) was real good with the lefts making it past the Rock bc of the amount of power behind them still, snapped my leash though when my board got ripped outta my hands on a dive, came up looked around - it was a good :05 until it came into view flipping through the air like a lure...had to swim in to get it

    Al in all I'd say it was pretty good and sneaky powerful

    Where you get all the lefts btw?

    Saturday looked decent with some solid size (head - 3 ft OH) and appeared to clean up in the afternoon when the winds backed off- based on surfline's cams, but I got stuck with kid duty. No waves for me. Was able to make it out Sunday afternoon for a few hours and caught it fairly clean-ish with shoulder/head waves with sets with solid 7 foot faces. half were closeouts, water was cold, and drift was strong, but I did find a couple that ended up being really fun. Best wave was a solid 2 feet overhead, made my drop and bottomed turned into a left, saw it start to closeout. Did a cutback and the right miraculously opened up and walled up in front of me. Got a good couple of turns before eating sh!t on some chop. Not my best day out, but fun. Could have been a blast if the water was warm.

    they gave sunday good and in the little square said "potentially epic at times". I didnt go tho because i prefer New England all day everyday over Long Island, and i didnt want to deal with the travel ban cause im a *****.
