Number Two was one of those waves that broke boards and ruined peoples sessions through possible being in caught on the inside-set domination. Some got even more vertical than that. In shock from this day compared to all summer. i yeehawed at someone today so stoked

 

its mush with people with bad form. bombs? please.

 

It actually was mushy, I will give you that. It was the nicest summertime swell in a while though. It wasn't hurricane noel barrels but it was the biggest cleanest swell to hit VA beach this year easily.

Did you paddle out? Are you just joking? I can't imagine how anyone from VA would be **** talking this particular swell? I was so stoked when I left the beach that there's no way you paddled out and didn't enjoy yourself unless you aren't very good. That could be the case because I saw about 5% of the people out actually get waves. The rest were floaters and probably got clenched bholes when the sets came through.

I got caught inside, pinned on the bottom, absolutely worked. It was solid. Had I been geared up in a wetsuit the paddle out would've been getting timed and I would have been way more selective with my wave choice.

Yeah it wasn't overhead glassy barrels but there were 8 foot glassy walls out there and if you had got you some you would be stoked. Or you are seriously jaded.

Either way that picture is sick and it shows the size. That dude does look like he has a clenched butt but can you blame him? He's probably dropped in on a wave that big only a handful of times in his life. He did better (from the looks of it) than most of the longboarders I saw dropping straight in and getting DESTROYED.


I have to agree with whoever said it, as sick as it may sound, I was getting off big time watching people get worked and paddle in or watching fat longboarders sit on the beach.

 

You're a wuss.

 

Take your negativity and leave.

Mush or clean everyone was stoked to actually have waves in virginia.

 

Unless they're an Internet troll or troll bait. This mornig was the cleanest out of the bunch. It started off at waist to stomach & shrunk a bit, but I'm so out of paddle-shape that I personally thought it was perfect wind-down session for the several days of waves. Given a week of rest, my geezer bones will be ready for the next one!

 

i was out thursday morning at the pier... i bodyboard and it was a pain in the ass to get out but it was well worth the punishment. i felt priveleged just to say i made it out and even rode those caliber waves in vb.... it was me my longboarder friend(who was goin for every bomb and keepin the stoke up for me) and one other bodyboarder on the south side.... cheers to anyone who rode on thursday. it was def nice to see the guys with no heart sitting on the beach hahahahaha

 

this morning was indeed fun as hell.... unexpected i might say but a nice surprise to end the swell like you said.

 

sick waves in southern sandbridge this morning. About chest high, occasional larger sets, glassy as you have ever seen it with spitting tubes shooting out from both sides of the A frame. I have surfed at least chest high waves for the last 5 days, OH waves 3 days straight. Well done, Katia.

As far as mushy vs bombs... that depends on when and where you surfed. I saw bombs ereyewhere, I saw some mushy spots too. Some sandbars held this swell better than others.

Can't wait for Maria!

oh yeah... swellinfo missed this one. Spot on the other 4 days of the swell

 

For what it's worth this morning at 6:30 was head high and hollow, not a ripple of water out of place...Forecast was calling for waist high. Would have not bothered except I got off of work this morning and decided to check it before going home. Better than two days ago? Yep. Surfed so much the last week 1/2 my wife thinks I'm having an affair.

 

My stoke over the past week and a half is starting to annoy everyone i know. Cant wait to see some pics from this storm

 

YEP. surfed 5 out of the last 7 days, from chest high to overhead+. Can't remember the last time thats happened. .

 

idk about where you guys were, but its unlikely the waves were over waist high this morning. by 7 last night they had already dropped to chest-shoulder, fairly quickly too

 

I was in north end.

 

solid chest to shoulder high at around sb early for sure

 

south of the pier was at least shoulder this am, no current just swell .superfun!

 

Today was the cleanest all week, some head high ones still be rolling thru this morning, but some close outs too. Dam Neck works better at high tide imo.

Definitely need more swells like this frequently, just to stay in surfing/paddling shape
