Yep......

 

Question on BILL

Ive never seen any report like this. And if all happens.... Will anywhere be rideable on a long period swell this big. I have a few ideas of where to go but a swell like this on the east coast is unheard of.

Any opinions.....

 

Hurricane Bill - Rodanthe NC

Hey guys how long do you think there will be overhead waves for in Rodanthe NC? Like what days will there be overhead waves? Just Saturday Sunday and Monday or like all week? Thanks!

 

IRI, Navals, Primehook, Broadkill, Chesapeake Bay, Virgina Beach, OC, the whole east coast.

 

Just check the report Ryan, nature is funny and the reports are just an idea of what could happen. It will be maxed out across the bridge and I am sure no less than 50 broken boards, plenty of stitches and hundreds staying dry on the sand.

 

holy s***. there are 3 different ways for you to answer this question by yourself.

1. look at the wonderful little green/blue/red men on the side of the rodanthe report.

2. look at the chart at the top of the rodanthe report and see when the swell is at the "head" line

3. wave maps

damn people are lazy

 

death waves this weekend. cant wait!!!!!

 

Oh yah

Bethune Beach Florida...will be going off.. Handles these south swells beautifully. Will post pics on the surf report. Get ready boys & girls. Grab the 6'4 and hang on

 

Mr Swellinfo, by your expertise what do you think this is going to do for nova scotia? judging by the models were gonna get slammed...am i right?

 

ya, dude... XXL

 

Micah,

Thanks for the work you are doing in advance of this swell.

I have found myself trying to explain to people who don't surf what triple overhead means, and I suppose I am just not articulate enough to convey the meaning.


Any suggestions? How about relative to the pier in south OC MD?

 

They'll never understand unless you throw one into the line up and he get's sucked over the falls

 

yeah, the pier is a good analogy. thats about three of me.

i forget what day this was but it was massive, 8 ft+

 

How often does this happen?

Been watching the forecast grow and grow. Just wondering if a long time EC surfer could answer : On average how often does the East Coast get a forecast for double O or triple O? Is this a 1, 5, 10, or 20 year event? I'm asking because this swell I will be cheering everyone on from the sand -This one is WAY outside of my skill set and I don't want to hurt anybody

But maybe someday.......

I got a lotta respect for those of you paddling out! Be safe and have fun!!!!

 

Hurricane Bill

I thought it would be interesting if everyone shared what board(s) they play on using for the upcoming swell.

I'll be bringing my JS combat 6'3 and 5'8 CI pod.

 

Sick thread dude

 

Theres a hurricane?

 

Keep hyping it up you morons.....I can't believe how much hype is already starting with this damn storm.

Don't get me wrong, it's gonna be good, but do we really have to talk about what boards we're gonna ride??

 

6'2 2 and 1/16 18 Channel islands and and if it breaks lol then idk i guess i will be buying a new 1
