I was checking the forcasts and the change it from Thursday to Tuesday. Oh well I gotta work Tuesday and if I had the time I could take off so I was hope it would have been surfable Thursday.
yea the ferry leaves here at nine and change it arrives at 1035 I was trying to catch the 600 back be back by 700
I may call out tomorrow, but may not be able to make the 9:00am departure, I need to drop off my kids at daycare. What is the next departure time? So, I may be game for the Cape May trip or I may hit Indian River. The Ferry fee is very high for taking a car. To be honest I am shocked that people use it. $66.00 round tip. If it was cheaper I would be hitting the surf breaks there when the wind is hard north. You can bike it for much less, but its a good 30min bike ride from Cape May Ferry to beach.
Non CM riders be warned. That place is VERY tide dependent so plan accordingly. I've seen it go from solid head to knee high with the tide drop and vice versa.
thats so true. I have seen it be small and weak and once the tide starts to drop it really pumps up . Cape May is funny like that sometimes. I guess with the bottom contours if to much water is there is makes it drop off or get disorganized til the tide drops .
All you have to do is drive up and down the road and look for the cars and trucks!! If you look at a jetty break count heads before paddling out. anything more then 5 to 8 guys and your wave count will drop heavily at those spots.
I'm sure the locals will be happy to see a busload of people that met on the internet to flood their regular breaks.
Can't say that I blame them when it's advertised on a public surf forum to come on & invade this (fill in the blank) spot.
Cape may is my home break, i can say i never seen so many vehicles along the beaches with non new jersey tags other then in the summer. I was pretty suprised at first but decided to battle out at poverty where there was 700 people out. Being on a sponge i figured i was going to be getting chewed out of every wave, but everyone for the most part was pretty cool that was around me and we all shared the big kahunas
