This humpday swell?!

The VERY reliable forecasts are calling for 6-9ft here. Using extrapolation we can conclude that Joizy is getting 64 footers. I'll be out getting WORKED Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning, then applying ice to my body Fri-Sunday. Should be a GREAT holiday.

 

Too bad in RI the best of the swell is on Thxgiving! Sucks. Only locals gon be out then! Looks like overhead and clean.

 

Cuz I live 2 hours away.

 

My current tentative plan is to drive the 1.5ish hours to Second Beach/Newport Thursday AM super early dawn patrol (sorry for blowing up the spot, if there are 300 surfers there instead of the usual 200 it's my fault), finish by ~11am so's I can get back to this super nice lady I've been dating-ish's house for vegan thanksgiving, then hit Good Harbor in Gloucester Friday... we'll see how the forecasts actually work out tomorrow/Wed though.

Maybe also a Wednesday PM session if it is firing + I have the afternoon off...

 

ill be out in the OBX. im going to be in corolla where its supposed to head high and a lot less winds but i want to try to get to rodanthe or buxton if i can. almost DOH!?!?!

 

I'm still a bit skeptical. I think there's going to be a lot of water moving around so I'm not so sure that there will be perfect barrels in OBX. Hoping for the best though and will be standing by for that glorious window.

 

should be a win/win for me planning on flying up to RI and catching some thanksgiving waves there and if the weather cancels the flight its ok cause swell here on the gulf to

 

Im sorry that's none of my business.... move along..

 

Jersey Turkey Shoot. Can't wait to score some 23 footers brah!

 

You could be jinxing the forecast with these postings. However, I failed to test this hypothesis over the summer. My plan was to post all kinds of "let's get excited about the swell" messages hoping that I would jinx the flat forecasts and we'd get some waves. I'm convinced the jinx works both ways.

 

Gonna Be rainy and WINDY! I hope I can get out though. I'll be out for sure Thursday. There. I fixed the jinx; it will be great Wednesday for CB because my wife will have to work and I'll have to wait for her and won't be able to get out until after dark. Thursday through Sunday? flat as a pancake.

 

Going the opposite way. Florida bound. Not going to be as big or fun but I need some warm water and weather. Wed and Friday morning are looking fun

 

Hey look at that, the forecasts change again.

Everybody on here gets excited when it might have some size, huh.

 

Why such a Negative Nancy lately, PJB? Tell us an interesting non-surf related tale of adventure!

 

Yea the potential 30mph wind may make it a little sketchy further south but damnmit if I could get standup barrels.... Hope the forecast holds. Been checking 10 times a day haha. Hope everybody scores!!!

 

Its been my experience that the forecast for cleanup usually gets delayed 12-24 hours as the fronts seem to slow down when they hit the coast. plan accordingly for either/both wednesday/Thursday swell

and some of my best memories of EC surfing is surfing turkey day till exhaustion >> eating to coma >>watching cowboys lose. little things make life worthwhile

 

Grom brah, I ain't no local and I might be in Rhodey on Thurs AM til Noon then getting to my sister's in MA in time for dinner in the afternoon. Won't know where I charge for another 36+ hours. Long way to go in the lab until then watching these charts. Yeah, that is STOKE that's powering my vehicle to go interstate to charge a holiday swell.
