Sunday sep 27. how big was it?

...the new jersey guys might be right - yesterday, at least in the mid-atlantic, i think that the farther north you went, the bigger it was. i checked it out in the afternoon, and i ended up going out in del.- i think that del. was a little bigger than oc. (don't know about assateague, but there's a good chance that the tides might not have been working for the island)

 

pics anyone??

Definitly a fun day, heavy and shoulder high id say, i went to upper streets md and it was so much fun.

 

im happy i dont bb.

 

hahaha ditto! and that's why everybody is calling 3ft. overhead......got it.

 

Jerz had way more size than this during the incoming tide, so don't be mislead.

 

I was at a spot with a select few people getting football field long barreling waves. Sets were well overhead.

 

Looks like OC sucked

 

Boss all mine are mid day, that might be y.

bunch of pics

 

Were the waves 3 foot over head peeling for 100 yards, no. But was the face on some of the set waves 3 feet taller than me at 6 foot tall, yes. I have been out on days catching what amounts to a chest high wave and had the intial face and drop, just as it folded over measure 9 feet. If you were at the top of the wave and dropped a plumb bob down I think you would be surprised how high a small wave is just as it breaks. Does that mean I would call yesterday 9 foot, I don't think so, but there were some bigger waves jacking up on a shallow sand bar where the bottom dropped out. I should know I air dropped and ate it on at least 5 waves and it wasn't fun.

 

a little before dark the waves picked up. 6-8 ft.

 

finally someone who knew exactly what happened. I was out from 2:30 - 7:15 or so. At first everything was sloppy and totally disorganized with very few waves not closing out. South winds were obnoxious. The waves were about 3-4 foot tho with occasional 5-6 footers. Around 4:30-5 the waves started jacking up a little bit and I wiped out, got inside, and couldn't make it back out (horribly unlucky lol). I tried a few times, and just ended up waiting for the waves to die down. Around 6, the the winds finally stayed west constantly and the sets became better and cleaned up. They became more organized and I attempted to get out, which I was able to do with ease. The sets that rolled in were enormous compared to before, around 6 foot for the usual sets with easy ~8-footers coming in frequently. It was really unexpected and amazing. Great end for the day.

 

I would say it was 4-6 foot with occasional overhead sets. Cleaned up nice right before dusk. Got smaller once it got dark

 

all you guys are talking bout the jersey shore and ocmd but after watching everything i could from sunday, i wonder if any of you paddled out in VB. sure there wer probably good sets rolling in farther north around there but if you didnt paddle out at all at the neptune fest, then dont judge it. i promise you guys that on sunday, VB gott some of the best waves from this swell. the morning was easy 3-5 feet, constant sets and sw winds. as the day went on the sets just got bigger and bigger until 3 when it was close to high tide. but before that, the winds switched west at bout 7:30 and it was game on with as many 4-7 foot barrels you could wish for. the sets had about six to seven waves for each one with straight w/wsw winds all day. it was deffinetely one of the most fun days this year. if you dont believe me, then that sucks for you. it was kegging and i have the proof to show you.

 

Monmouth County was FUN!

Was solid overhead with some 1-3 ft overhead sets rolling through periodically where I was out. The drift was RIDICULOUS though, anyone else have to deal with that? I could have paddled from Asbury Park to Belmar if there wasn't any drift! (sarcasm) I wasn't at a spot protected by a jetty though, it was breaking way past the jetty. Some monster tubes were rolling in...The waves were def. not as big as Bill, but about the same size as Danny where I was.

 

i third that...

the current was worse than the first day of danny when it was real bad. A good 10-15 min paddle out. I tried to stay ontop of the sandbar where i was at but not a chance. Skis would have been nice...

 

i surfed ocnj and it got like 1-2 ft overhead, clean and pretty big barrels... soooo nice

 

wow

50 cent in a bodyboarding slide show





.............sick brah

 

yeah but the current was only in the whitewater. you literally moved 100ft in 10 seconds if you paddled a little. but, as soon as you made it out it was still
