    44014...nearest to us is showing Swell 5.2 12/13 seconds. with the swell not filled in yet and howling off-shore winds on fri/sat, you got to think that some spot on the DelMarVa will be working over the next 2 days. The last WSW predicted for OCMD worked out fine with more W then SW in it. So it could be sick for the right tides and right spots. Lower Slower might be happening as well. Good luck to us for this one.

    Jersey had some nice 8-10 on the face size but 30+ mile per hour off-shores, clouds and 40 degree temps just didn't do it for me... saw a few good barrels but more bobbin then throbbing in the tube..

    Sick pictures...If VB was head high on the sets today and top to bottom I can only imagine how good it was North and South of here. Santa came early and that's all I needed under the tree.

    The entire Mid Atlantic went off today... A really cool scenario with the mix of both solid S wind swell and ENE long period swells. We had waves wedging left and right all over the places in Delmarva.

    he was way out there apparently, beyond the breakers.

    Was he scared to come in because of the booming surf? Did offshore attempt to take him to Europe? Seems odd.

    Was he out there waiting for help for two hours ? I thought they said he lost his board. That would seem to be impossible with that water temperature.
