NOFLO goes off again... hey thanks everyone up north for taking one for the team... JK. hope everyone makes it OK with no damage and get some waves

 

Queen Street Cape May is going off too http://thesurfersview.com/live-beach-cams/south-jersey/cape-may

Surprised its this clean with the looming storm

 

We're already getting wrecked down here in OC, MD. Towns flooded on low tide. Waves are crazy.

 

Yeah, Beach AVE in Cape May has around an inch of water on it in some places...

I mean its not that bad but im still worried cause my house is 2 blocks from the beach

 

rain has started here, but most roads on the island are still passable w/ the low tide. the wind does seem to be increasing as well...here's some crappy iphone shots from earlier today:






the beach front shots were taken on a dropping tide

 

Who in their right mind would be going in after him? Trying to convince the wife to book a hotel on the north end so we can sit on the balcony and watch it while partaking in a cocktail or two. She's looking at me like she always does when I mention things like that.

 

don't know, pretty sure homeboy is gone..
watching the ocean when its angry is epic.. coincidentally, that's what i'm about to go do also.. score

 

wow thats a good bit of water already. Where in OC is that?

 

by the looks of things in MD right now, monday is going to HEAVY

 

street shot was around 46th...take it w/ a grain of salt; it floods in a heavy rain at high tide. i'd call that "moderate", not heavy or severe.
beach shots were taken at the top of 52nd.

 

Got it clean and shoulder to head high this morning in RI. Thank you sandy! Now for the ugly part of the storm : (

 

I can't get to any beach in NY Long Island barrier islands anymore. They're all closed and the cops are sitting on the bridge waiting for people to leave. I tried to walk across and that didn't work.

Ended up running across when I found a bridge with a fat cop. Surfed for an hour, too much trouble with mushy closeouts, then got a $500 ticket. Seriosuly.

 

I think we are going to lose the pier down in the ocean city, md inlet. Already have pilings falling off this morning and the worst is yet to come

 

Ridiculous. It's not even bad out yet. 500 bucks is crazy

 

yea croatan would be my other option because it would handle the n part of the wind better too. jumping off the pier is illegal but if there's no one to stop me.... its gonna be a wait and see game for tomorrow. as soon as that wind switch happens im trying to get on it

I just went down to 1st to check it out. probably 7-10ft with occasional double overhead white water sets. jetty is almost under water. damn

 

now a firetruck comes to my house saying I have to leave. **** that.

Damn. Ocean grove, nj

 

500 is a pathetic, unbelievable amount.

Cops were on the boardwalk in Rockaway yelling into megaphones "demanding" everybody paddle in and go home- some were even threatening tickets- but I don't see how the hell can they ticket you..? Not in principle either, in actuality. They have no idea whatsoever who you are; couldn't you have given a fake name or something? It's not like you're carrying id in your wetsuit.

Not a bad wave today incidentally (for a few hours anyway); handful of really beautiful bombs. Turned stupid sloppy after lunch though...
