Storm on west coast

There's lots of precipitation and winds up north with this current system. It headed south and SoCal is as wet as it's been in a while. Wondering why everyone is making a big deal of this though, is it simply because there's rarely rain? On the cams no one is out and those waves look better than what I was happy to paddle into yesterday at home.

Friends are talking about runoff and getting sick if you surf today but we paddle out at rivermouths all the time in EMass/NH. Heavier onshores right now no doubt but it's getting real calm this afternoon (says the report) and the swell is there. I'm doing the math as well as using my eyesight looking at cams and it appears that there's mad good waves to have today there.

Am I off base in thinking we charged much worse this week on the EC and were fine with it? Tomorrow is sunny again. Only the second time it's rained that I've been out there in about 10 trips. Was a torrent on Super Bowl Sunday last year.

 

That's some good heads up Slash.

The pieces of the palm trees are everywhere in Honeyton. Kind of a mess. 25+mph must be a lot for out here.

Not a single surfer out. And it's a Friday afternoon. I'll take that as a sign.

 

What you think about tomorrow? Creek is awesome and I was possibly headed down there if it was good. Up in HB now.

You're in Mass too? Seems like we live a similar life lol I'm out here a lot this time of year.

 

Chest to OH glass for most of the day today. Will the water quality really be that bad still? I surf rivermouths out east during and immediately after rain. It's not like I'm not exposed to less than pristine water and I've not encountered trouble yet.

 

Keep it up troll. I'll just put you on ignore then you can make angry replies to my posts that I'll never see. Maybe that'll still make you feel better. Or you can go make the more productive and successful choice and mind your own business bro. Btw, it's Saturday AM...doesn't your family need breakfast or something? Go see how they're doing. You're never gonna meet any of us. Well at least not other than Jawn.

 

So it's 72 hours post-rain for sure?

 

Damn. It was pretty intense rain. WTF. Chest to OH and clean.

Good thing I got a new Carver Fraktal yesterday. Still, I need to be in that water.

 

Ok there are 3-5 cats on every peak in Honeyton from the pier to Seal. Can it be that bad? Gotta paddle out now.

This Carver Fraktal is off the chain. Though the less than 16" wheelbase would be problematic (Green Room almost 19") but the tail slides out unbelievably well. Still keeping my wide stance and back foot is behind trucks but that seems to help turns.

I'll have a bit extra Vit C in my drink this morning to ward off the parasites and viruses.
