Did anyone else score after work Friday or Saturday? I got about 7 hrs of water time and took a few pictures. This is from a little spot in rhode island.
Ahhhh, the 8-10 foot Rhode Island surf EmassSpicoli has alluded to. Before you snap-off hinmo24t, this has nothin' to do with you. I don't want you cracking-wise at me again. I'm still in therapy from the last time.
That does look super fun.. About the same size and clean as a whistle n Friday in Jersey. Much smaller Saturday in western LI. Looks 8'-10'
Hmmm....Temps around 50. Water temps in the mid 50's. So according to the people who frequent this forum, you should be ok with a 3/2? Or maybe even trunking it? haha. Of course a lot of people out there was wearing their winter suit/hood. That day had that damp wet cold that just cuts right through you to the bone. It was really miserable weather.
yeah out on LI I sported a 4/3 with vest/hood under. gloves and booties. it was a cold miserable day. but decent surf.
yeah Friday I wore my 3/2 chest zip with 3 mm boots and 5 mm gloves and was warm for a couple hours. then Saturday morning the air temps were colder and I didn't want to put my wet set up back on, so I wore my 654 and was nice and toasty for 4+ hrs. The waves were breaking chest-head high once in a while.
To me, it was inconsistent and disorganized on Friday morning / early afternoon in Jersey. I surfed North side of LBI. A decent nugget would pop up every once-in-awhile, but was infrequent, and probably closed out. I thought the mothers day swell was way better. RI looked good from the pic. Nice score.
Agreed. Saturday the whole day was awesome, I hit a local spot in RI with a friend and it was firing! Water was a bit chilly though. I was using my 5/4, gloves, hood, and of couse boots and was perfect. If the weather was nicer I would've gone thinner.
