Sunday sep 27. how big was it?

yeah i think that bump might have you crazy. i surfed in the deal region as well. surf was in the chest to shoulder with an occasional head high set every now and then. might wanna rethink that 3ft overhead barrels

 

Ditto, I was out at 67th and it was about shoulder high on the bigger waves....still a nice surprise, and the waves had some fairly decent power to them as well.

 

no joke

no - you aren't crazy. i hit it from about 3:30 - 7 and it was out of control. waves were as big as they were when bill hit - some 7-8 footers easy, i think some may have been bigger. came out of nowhere...awesome.

 

i surfed darlington idk maybe you were out there too. but at BEST it was a little overhead. and i surfed till dark. went out at about 4, surfed till a little after 7. now the building and breaking part is definely correct here but 3 ft overhead and heavy barrels isnt. come on now

 

i was in surf city on long beach island...only saw a couple of other guys out, but it was legit.

 

Pulled into some monster tubes at state line today, then when home and pulled more massive tubes of DAT FUNKKKKKKK! Then made a bunch on $ at work. What a day. What a day

 

oc md started off waist - chest this morning then really picked up throughout the day, with winds going straight offshore at noon and the swell peaking around 3-4 pm at consistent head high sets. it was extremely fun with a few 4-5 wave sets!! fun drops and a lotta barrels. but wave height was predominantly waist-chest with sets in the morning shoulder and at its peak head high. started to taper off around dark as the tide got closer to low. super fun day. torture to watch and not be able to surf for 7.5 hours of it >.<

 

Had my ass handed to me today out in Deal today, just a bad session all around so it's nice to the think it was well overhead. There were definitely some mamajamas coming through but I did nothing special with em. Though to my defense for my crappy day I left my wetsuit in someones car that is now in Pittsburgh and might be sick but since I'm one of the fifty million uninsured Americans I can't really acknowledge the latter so I went out anyway, toes got numb...Excuses, excuses. Wasn't that clean though, I say blue, report was off, but in a good way. Everyone I saw in the line disappeared after their takeoffs which means overhead to me...So I concur, hopefully this morning will be off too

 

3 ft over your head when you're getting tossed around...

 

I went out sunday afternoon expecting chest high waves on the bigger sets, it was easily overhead, powerful wave. (3ft overhead, a stretch) I will take swells from low pressures moving off the coast over a crowded closed out hurricane swell any day.

 

i went out 3 times in ocmd once at inlet beore wind switched it was disorganized and about shoulder as soon as wind switched went up to 34th street i didnt even realize how big it was untill i was trying to catch my first set.. kinda slow but you coulkd see the sets from a mile away and tehy were bombs for sure overhead and very powerfull and then evening at 14th faster hollower wave i would say head sets

 

Ok, I purposely made a profile here to back up Lvie.

I don't know where most of you guys paddled out at, but I was out at the south end of oc nj, and it was pumping from 3:30 till about 4:30. Maybe not quite consistent size, but there was a handful of sets that were in the 8 foot range. Superfast lines, and a couple barrels if you were lucky, nothing to stand up in, but there was some out there.

Besides that hour it really started to taper off after the peak of high tide.

Hope everyone got some of that

 

I second that...

 

i wonder if the after work session will be worth it today...

 

3 foot overhead my @ss. here we go with the blatant fabrications

 

Monmouth County from 530 to 7pm....YES!

i'm 5'6". absolutely there were sets where the face was 8-9 foot. easily! not all of them but the rouge one here and there, no doubt. those disagreeing with 3 foot over head either didn't go out or are 7 feet tall.

 

jimmy is it just me or are you always a ****.. you must just be pissed because you couldn't make the paddle out yesterday =p

 

no doubt monmouth county was fun, and there was the occasional overhead wave but i think alot of you guys claiming it was 3 foot OH are the same people that said bill was double-to-triple OH.

measuring waves on the "east coast scale" is fun if you like to talk about how big and gnarly the waves were, but once you travel to places that handle more substantial swell, youll notice that "6 foot" in NJ has a completely different meaning than "6 foot" in the pacific ocean
