Since few people are posting about their surf session this week I thought I'd start a thread for those who haven't been surfing. Let's hear all your excuses and reasons why you haven't surfed in over a week....
The wave machine gets turned on (up here) tomorrow... Chest high and offshoure for NJ. Waves for the next few days with a big swell coming Monday (with 40MPH winds).
No excuses here. I surfed last Friday and Sunday. Nothing fantastic really so I felt no real need to write aboot it. Forecast looks pretty suite upcoast for Saturday so that's where I'll probably be.
Any day in the ocean is a fantastic day no? I know it may not always be a great session, but it's better than sitting home or in an office working...
Tomorrow, Friday and Saturday for sure... Hopefully the winds will cooperate next week. I'll get out before and after work any day its good. And if it's really good I'll stick around all day
Oh, for sure. Wasn't complainin'. I treasure every moment in/on the water. But they were less than thrilling sessions that I figured few would care to hear aboot.
I ran down to the beach yesterday and today. It was moderately onshore, choppy, and not much over Chest-High. Pass. Have to work through all available surf times tomorrow, but the forecast is for rain, wind, and not much surf. I might still go out Friday, when the forecast is for rain, wind, and a s--t ton of surf. Depends on the wind.
I'm calling out Friday and I'm off next Wednesday. I think I've only surfed twice in the past couple weeks so I'm looking forward to it.
My only excuse is the daylight hours are too short at the moment. Normally I'll blow off work but I'm outta here the beginning of the month for 6 weeks and need to finish my current project before I leave.
I hear you, work comes first obviously, especially if you get 6 weeks off. I have been getting about hour or so in the mornings before work. But like NYNJ said, we're getting more daylight every day now.
Still nor early enough plus it's the coldest part of the day and I'm honestly over the cold. I'm heading to PR. This might be my last trip there. Hopefully next year I'll be living in a vacation spot.
no excuses tomorrow! east is looking promising and I want no regrets! not gonna get better thinking and talking about it! up early and I'm out! 40 degrees water and air with 3-5' clean! sounds sweeeet! peace.
I hear ya. It's getting tougher to get out when it's freezing cold, especially in the am... 6 weeks in PR will be sick!
It was nice to rest up and make some cake for a couple days. Looks good for the weekend here and upcoast. Always awsome to have a nice clean swell to look forward to. Saturday: Friends and family please leave a message after the beep. Fellow surf rats- PM me, I will reply and bring stoke!
