who here has been surfing this week?

^^^ Good stuff, that's wisdom!

 

left the board in the back of my truck from yesterday, along with a pair of board shorts. Checked it around 11 this morning on the cam, and saw it still looked decent although it had lost some size. Pulled the trigger and ducked out of work after lunch. Paddled out at the first spot I checked. Ended up catching thigh high (and occasional waist) peelers that ran for 50-75 yards for over two hours. winds were offshore with a little north in them. Was holding the waves up regardless, and giving them some steep faces. Still had a little punch left over from the day before. Haven't been able to surf three days in a row since the boy was born a year ago...just stoked to be able to get out.

 

I'm vibin off my fellow swellinfo'ers. Sounds like some good sessions were had this weekend. Going out tmrw for session number two of the week. ESE swell should make for good left handers. Gonna splash around in Belmar after work. Looking like it'll be waist high, I'll bring the grovellier. Hopefully it's overcast or rainy so the fair weathers stay inside. Will repost with hopefully good results.

 

suncured my shortboard and fish to death after a long week of laziness. going out in about an hour and pretty pumped for good waves. feels like I haven't surfed in a year

 

Man, nobody else surfed on Monday, International Surfing Day? Ah, well.

Hadn't surfed in almost two weeks. Met my buddy in the late afternoon. We had some NNE swell mixing with burly choppe from the hard onshores. Made for some waist to chest plus peaks. Far from lined up so most rides weren't very long but there were some fun drops. As messy as it was, you never knew what each wave would do so it was interesting. Surfed two hours until I ran out of gas.

Today was about the same size but more choppe than swell. Steep short period waves that tended to close out (I'm also very slow) so I blew more waves than I caught. Can't complain. Still got time in the water. Better than not surfing. This time of year I'll take whatever I can get.

Also, as I was leaving two dudes showed up wearing 3/2 full suites. WTF? It's summer in south Florida. Sure, it's overcast and windy but the water and air are in the mid 80s. I haven't worn neoprene in aboot three months. Seriously, WTF?

 

Somehow i'm not surprised lol I think you can see this year round if you look around, i'd die in a suite right now

 

Damn, and we clown dudes fully suite-d up in summer up here.

 

Dude we're lucky if we ever get into a 3/2 around here. With booties.

 

Morons SS, they must of just bought it for "surf season" thinking the ocean is always cold and then when they paddle out for the first time and realize it's not really cold, they just play it off and act like their comfortable.

 

Schit, this time of year I'm roasting in my rashie until I hit the water. I can't stand getting in and out of a full suite so I only wear it a handful of times each year. Only on the days it gets down in the 40s and 50s. More for the air/wind cuz the water never gets very cold. Otherwise a springsuite or long sleeve neo top will do. I have a low tolerance for cold but I also have a low tolerance for cooking my caulk and balls off.

Not surprisingly, those two dudes couldn't surf for schit, had borts way too short, etc. Not that I did much better today but they were getting out of the water by the time I was done showering.

Also, we've got one guy around here that when it is legit wetsuite season, always wears bortshorts outside his suite. Kook-of-the-day type stuff.

 

How many days left in surf season?

 

waves right now in nj,not that good,but its waves.i wanted to go surf afterwork,but it was a long tiring day in the field and I got sand in my vagina so il be a little girl and go tomorrow.tomorrows supposed to be bigger anyway,hopefully my vagina doesn't get sand in it tomorrow

 

Surfed Nort Beach @ The Place That Shall Not Be Named from 0530-0800. Only cause State doesn't open til 0700.
Butt, State was mo bettah. Checked it at 0830 on the way out. Mitchell, spot-on senor for those locations.

0130 'drop your cock & grab your socks' (don't get excited, sparkies, it's just an ol' DI mil saying)
0145 critical oatmeal & coffee infusion
0200 start the engine & on the road
0440 arrival The Place That Shall Not Be Named (miscalc, could have slept in another hour argh)
0445 nap time

0530 paddle out
fun waves, many lefts, everyone (4 guys on 25 miles of beach) out there on big boarts to get across massive trough suction, plus a couple harmless SUPS, nvr crowded here, you guys in CB & all that noise, may the Dalai Lhama be with you.

E swell is almost always better than expected at TPTSNBN; today, though, there was the predicted SE underlying swell, which sabotaged a number of decent peelers. I love trying to figure out thye ocean & what the swell will do. So many factors. This is why when it is good we are all so fortunate: the human virus can't influence this magic.

Anyways, waist to chest on sets if you could avoid the SE bung wave trying to mug the tasty waves coming from the E.

Wind was interesting: south vry early then SSW then W then SSW again. Didn't mind the SSW because it provided respite from the Zika Vampires.

High filled it in - - would have loved to stay, eat, sleep, catch mid-tide a couple hours after high. Butt the death desk demanded my presence.

0845 lv TPTSNBN
1130 arr concrete land,
the stoke keeps me alive

 

Probably doesn't want anybody peeking at his acorn & walnut shell popping through

 

Woo hoo! Got some waves yesterday after work, till dark. Went up to Jupiter and it was incoming mid tide, with a shoulder high plus swell chopped up with onshores. It was fun on the outside for a few. Warbally bouncy drops into a good section and then reformed on the inside. So the waves lasted a few turns. A guy and a gal outside, both wearing suites. A guy in the mid break wearing a top> WTF? By the time I figured out the outside as to where to line up sets, it got too high tide and started to mush so I got a few dumpy inside chunks, then rejoiced with a fattie and a cold one. Life is goode! So ... good swell Cinco de Maya...decent swell Summer Solstice....rideable swell 4th of July??? Hope springs eternal. Peas and waves ya'll.

 

I'm glad you got it yesterday on International Surf Day no less! I forgot, but still went. I think the dummies in the wet suites are trying to harvest sea lice in the groin region. Strange folk.

 

yes yes but its worth it to have the kinda waves that make you never consider waiste to chest short period swell "firing". I miss the east coast in the winter, sometimes but only because i forget about how good the west coast is.

 

yea im just pissed off at the world for no reason because its my work season and my girls going to music festivals and probably gettin boned and the waves have been bunk since saturday. i know how good the east coast can git, i congealed in a gutter and came into existence there 24 years ago. Im sure you had a good time and i woulda too, dont mean to de stoak your stoak fire.

 

Surf on tap for Saturday...no pity party for you lol

 

Got in a couple DP seshes before work Monday and yesterday. Waist high and clean. Warm offshore breezes. Monday AM was better. Fun longboarding. Good way to start the day, but looks flat out there this morning. Water around 73 here.
