East Coasts top 3 overrated waves voice your opinion

The whole East Coast is over-rated. But hell thats why most of us love it so much. Mostly un-crowded especially at size. We are fairly spoiled here on the banx, and rodanthe rarely ever sucks! Unless ya mean sucks away the road on the regular...

 

legitimately LMFAO!


on the other hand, i love being told to do anatomically impossible things to myself or to essentially kill myself (among others) by anonymous strangers on the interwebs. brightens my day. truly.

 

knife your neck was classic

 

Wow away for the morning and I return to all this hostility,nevermind classic, this is all time....hehe, interwebs, like it.

 

Wow, see this is how a sarcastic comment can be taken the wrong way and away they go! HAHA Nice one...

 

Ruggles

Never surfed it but seen it on a decent SE swell and it wasn't all that. Although it can have it's moments (09 Bill), but I'm sure the RI surfers are happy for outsiders to consider it as "the spot"

"Mostly un-crowded especially at size." +5

 

While I like surfing there, I'd say for VB folks Sandbridge is over-rated ... the surf at 1st Street and Croatan is much better against the jetty than on Virginia's "OBX". Still though, I know some purists who swear by Sandbridge and would rather go there than the beachfront. And if I'm surfing at 1st, and say it was chest-high, they'll tell me they were down at Sandbridge and it was head-high ... it's always "bigger". Yet when I go ... it's the same exact wave, just 5 miles down the coast, and without the benefit of the sandbars that pile up against the jetty at 1st.

 

Finally! Somebody who gets me...

 

You sir, are an idiot.

 

+1,000,000

 

Whenever I went there it was just a shorebreak on the inside

 

Some people just don't get it. Thought this may have spelled it out for those ready to defend their state til the death. Guess not.

 

Grew up in S'bridge and live at the oceanfront now. What I miss are actual sandbars. The kind with a deep spot between the bar and beach. Those setups always seem to break better during 3 or so hours before and after low tide. Just look for a deep spot between sandbars and work the edges for nice lefts or rights. And, if you're in the know, there's usually at least one good high tide shorebreak setup in sandbridge. Plus, sandbridge is a little closer to the continental shelf so less wave energy is lost to the swell dragging the bottom.

The constant beach replenishment at the oceanfront just leaves more of a straight ledge along the beach leading to tons of closeouts like we had during most of last aug.-oct. swells.

I don't spend much time at the north end (oceanfront) b/c I hate dealing with the parking and traffic. It's much easier to bike to the boardwalk then travel north or south for a few blocks to find the best break. Job, mortgage and wife take up enough time as it is.

Don't get me wrong, 1st street, the pier and croatan do get good. I'd say even better than sandbridge on small waves. Any kind of structure usually helps around here. I'd just rather avoid the hordes of people.

 

You are right, absolutely no reason to go to sandbridge. First street is the bomb, everyone should continue to go there.
