I am going freaking nuts with this ridicuous flat spell!

Cant wait to pick one up, sure its flat, but its warmer air than usual so I will just pretend I'm surfing when Im riding the concrete.

Also, any of you ever noticed a pattern that whenever we get a mild winter, a much more active hurricane season follows? Just from what ive seen in the past

 

Ditto to this in the afternoon. Found a nice bar to myself on the incoming with fun belly high waves. Cant beat 60 degree air temps in Jan.

 

It's to the point where Im questioning why I live where I do. Seriously thinking about relocating for some more consistency. 1-3ft just ain't gonna cut it for me, not even worth the suit-up.

Downside to 60 degree air temps and stable pressure is that we do not have the storms rolling through to kick up some surf.

 

i moved away from the area after the last good run of swell (how many months ago?), and now the ocean is protesting my absence. My bad.

 

I surfed last saturday, but it was so small it was frustrating. Ponce inlet was okay, their where some sets comming in breaking on the normal sandbar but they where to inconstant to paddle out for

 

Purty fun this morning at VB. The offshores were not that strong, woulda stayed longer but duty calls. Hope ya'll got some

 

real victory at sea BS today. it wasn't so bad earlier in the morning. 4/3 with a hood was good for me. maybe if the air was 30 degrees i could went with more rubber.

 

Never really cleaned up here. I'm sure it was breaking better elsewhere, but locally?... not so much. By the time I got out of work it was dead low, no wind, solid overhead sets, but really dumpy and sectiony... the East mixed in was kinda messing with it. Most beaches empty for good reason. I'll confess... I passed.

Anybody get some good ones? Got pics???

 

Just bought this...

should solve the 1-2 foot slop problem

 

That is too bad you guys are going through a flat spell. It has been a whacked year overall....except;
Since I moved away from the Mid-Atlantic to the Pac NW in June, the waves have been non-stop and never below chest high.
Yea, the water is cool, but not cold year round and with the right gear you can surf anytime you want. All you need is a 4/3/b/g, but the water hit 62 in $%@#! during September so I was fortunate to wear just a jacket and baggies for a few weeks.
It's been pretty big here in WA the last couple of months with a dozen or so 10'-12'+ days.
