    I will be off tomorrow and I see nothing but FLATNESS in my forecast....

    What say ye, amateur meteorologists?

    Is our Spring run over?

    Has Summer arrived early?

    I'm stuck at work, watching a weak swell die, before the Atlantic turns back into a lake.

    Spring swell is alive and well bros. You just may have to log mileage to reach it here and there. I surfed 5 out of 8 days as of Saturday. Getting back in the drink today and Friday. Spring stoke is here to stay buoys. Don't doubt it.

    Not to mention water temps are finally pushing 45 in MA (way late but still rising) and the long term has serious swell arriving in 8-9 days. Could change but it's on the radar.

    Spring of stoke continues tomorrow all day and night with chest to shoulder and clean on EMass NH/ME coastal lines. You thought it would end weeks ago. Not the case. Non-hurricane spring swell prevails and remains through mid-June. Get on it braddahs. Glassy walls to shred!!!!!!

    FLY A BANNER FOR ENDLESS SPRING SWELL AND STOKE
    (and treads that actually pertain to surfing)

    Bro. The first half of June through yesterday has been raging and clean up here. Guarantee you we get a few more days of fun the last week of the month. Haven't even heard many/any score reports from this past weekend. Was NE the only place that got swell?

    Yup, I can back that up, this Spring has been real good to us. I have been in the water 95% of the time we got swell and surprised winds have kept under 20mph. I get a feeling that it is all going to end for us soon.. maybe till about mid Aug.

    The Island has been treating us very well this spring. Butt crack early on Saturday morning was the call here.

    Friday was pretty good here, and Saturday morning wasn't bad, but it was pancake flat where I was yesterday afternoon. Less than a foot, and breaking right on the beach. Forecast doesn't look good either. :(

    I feel like our years of surfing on the EC speeds up time way more than time should be sped up. We surf in the fall, winter, and spring when there is swell, and then right when summer hits there are threads that someone posted about how many days there are left til hurricane season. Then we get no hurricanes, so we look forward to winter. We get no nor'easters, we look forward to spring. We get no spring swell, we look forward to hurricane season again! Wtf people! I feel like if I move to PR or CA or Hawaii or somewhere where you can surf more, and surf more EVERYDAY, than time will slow down and I will enjoy my surfing life more.

    My goal in the next 3 years is to be on PR living till my time runs out. And your right, time will slow down because you will be where you should be, not anxious about where you want to be.

    It was definitely stronger further north with ME having the highest buoys of all. If you got above the Cape you were scoring all weekend. At least you're close to Rhodey for South swells in between anything tropical we get. Once it becomes a lake up here we won't see ESE action for a while.

    How them Portuguese wahines doing in New Bedford? They fine. But fiesty.

    We have had a great spring here in north NJ. Best surf I have had in 2 years was May 30- June 2. Had many days in May that were not just fun but really good! Have only sailed the Hobie Cat once because of all the surf.
    We kept thinking that the swell was going to be the last one til September. Cant complain, going sailing Wednesday!!!

    Got out early morning and late this afternoon today and was able to squeeze some rides out of the last of it around here for awhile. It's forecasted to be pretty much flat the rest of this week and into the next.

    Might as well get me one of these things, wear umbrella hat and play ukulele (note pedals below seat):
