Am looking at forecast which says double overhead next Saturday Oct 26--WTF? Can that be true? Is it those two invests in Caribean and Atlantic? Too big for me and the long board. At best I would have to ride white water. ... But def will be out there watching the kids at the inlet killing this waves.
I think there is a tropical system developing. They are talking about it affecting our weather on the gulf next week, swellinfo will be on top of it I'm sure.
Isnt it nice Betty, the last 2 months have been incredible, been surfing at least 3 times a week, mother nature has been redeeming herself from the dismal summer we have had, this whole week there are going to be waves....wooohooo!!!
Yes, we have been so loving it! I coulda done with less wind though yesterday as it made it kinda sloppy out there. But I did have a few nice long rides when the waves occasionally actually peeled left (she says with a dreamy look in her eye) although I coulda done without the leash around my neck in a big wipeout.
Sebastian can, but the only places I know that could hold that size is Ponce inlet, New Smyrna, Sebastian and reef road and Sunglow Pier depending the tide.
At double overhead you need a bottom that will allow the wave to peel. Most east coast beach break will just be a huge wall of closeout whitewater at that size.
there are plenty of places that can handle dbl oh waves in fl., you just have to have the experience knowing the winds and the tides here. Tyler is right about the places he mentioned, but there are so many more.....lol....i know where i can go
haha turkeyticklers.... well i guess mavs could but no. its on the east coast though. cant make a decent call on swell till 48 hours max. anything before that is just hype. sometimes not even day of can you know unless ya go
Have a look at the Wave Map forecasts, and you will see the predicted development of the storm system...
Many moons ago when I lived in Melbourne RC's was my go to spot on big ground swells. Does it still break there? I would assume the break doesn't change that much due to the coquina reef bottom. The paddle out wasn't bad either. Just watch out for your knuckles on the inside just north of the main peak.
Now the forecast is NW wind, not NE. That will be so better at my beach break. Still too big and windy for my longboard. I might have to wear a disguise and go out on a sponge board
