Beached Whale OCNJ

That is sad. If you don't mind, keep the SwellInfo community posted. And you Ocean City guys watch out for sharks. Keep some Mancos and Mancos available as a decoy if you run into sharks. I feel bad for that whale. Well at least the poor guy didn't land in Atlantic City.

 

i was in OC today. that thing smelt so bad. i walked down to the water...i cant get the stink off my shoes. Cool sight to see, but sad and seriously disgusting.

 

Laughing at the Mack and Manco's decoy comment. Prep's guy myself. Seriously about the sharks though. I paddled out once with a dead whale floating about 200 yards out a few blocks down from where I was... that ocean was ALIVE... couldn't put a paddle down without startling something (including myself). I fell off of a wave and landed on a big fish that totally freaked out and thrashed away... just like I did... and that was it. Waist hi and semi-clean wasn't worth it. No clue what that fish was and I am glad that I did not have to find out.

 

So any update on the whale? I haven't seen the news today and I rather hear aboot it from a surfer dude anyways. I hope none of Ocean City's finest got attacked by trolling sharks. Maybe some of youse guys out there wouldn't mind that happening. I don't know.

 

Waaaaaaaay back in the day an even larger whale washed ashore in oc. They did the same thing - buried it under the LP bridge. Not sure why they do that, but there must be a good reason.

 

LOL that thing was not even close to 60 ft, who's tape measure were they using cause its broken! Tho they did spend all day truckin it north for burial, so maybe my eyes deceived me yesterday.

 

I just watched this vid... http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=8517277 and it did look pretty big but maybe not 60'. Also, it looked like a pretty nice wave around 1 min 55 secs into the vid and I didnt see anyone out... I dont know the area I am mostly a RI surfer.

 

ha how stupid does manco's and manco's sound? lame. when did that happen by the way, fall? I don't usually go to ocean city and i'm current away at college

 

About a month ago, gnar. Apparently mack wanted out (crazy, cause that place is a cash cow).

 

1st, manco's pizza is overrated, sauce from a tube? c'mon peoples...

2nd, I saw that whale and it was easily 60 ft. The whale was a Finback whale. The 2nd longest whale on the planet next to the blue whale, and the sixth largest living animal on Earth.

 

holy blue-water-white-death, batman!

just a head's up. they buried a whale in south OC (in CA) and shark presence increased dramatically. the oils from the whale seep into the surf and the sharks come around for YEARS....apparently not uncommon. here's a timely article. enjoy, but keep that anti-shark spray handy in your utility belt

the finback whales have been all over assateague lately and they brought plenty of big rockfish along with them

It's def sad, I heard it died from AIDS. It's the first case of a marine mammal to die from the disease. Apparently the Cape May ferry got it up the ass.
