has anyone been surfing?

Nobody better tell Dudeman the secret spot we have all been surfing this whole time.

 

three times in the last week. fog = light winds. Fog also = no crowds. Its been mostly knee thigh high and no texture (today) to light texture. Water temps are in the mid 50s on delmarva. 4/3 with just 3 mm booties.

Without a real grovel board, this small windswell wouldnt be worth it. With one...worth it, but barely.

 

Only times I've been out in the last 2 months is when I've hit the Outer Banks. Probably surfed 5-6 times in the last 2 months just playing around with the jump rope and trying to stay limber. This is only re-affirming my motivation to get the hell outta here in a year and a half and move back to Hawaii, California, or even Alaska.

I love the fog though, nothing like it when there's a good swell and light winds. Now all we need are some waves to go along with it.

 

...I had a blast today...thigh to stomach high stuff but long clean rides.


Saw a good-sized shark jet by though...

 

I surfed yesterday but just missed that low tide window. With the fog, there was no wind, and it was so glassy, but even at mid tide the waves struggled to break. I think I can ditch the booties next week too

 

NH/mass last thursday-sunday waist plus.

 

Been out about 7 of the last 10 weekends, both in the gulf and east coast of Florida, surf has been consistent and fun, in the waist to chest range most days, and glassy too, I have put lots mileage on the vehicle but all worth it

 

looks like we might get something in the nj/ny area sunday to tuesday... but I'll be in florida.... urggh...

 

What part of Florida? We're expecting a solid day on Saturday in certain areas, might work out better for you if you can get on it

 

Where at???

 

I wish... I'll be on the gulf coast.... just my luck.

 

I'm local to the gulf but it's only a 2hr drive to the best spot in florida

 

what is this surfing that everyone talks about? how do you surf?

 

If I had the time I'd rent a car and make the drive too.. but I'll be visiting the 'rents and it just wouldnt be right... Im just going to have to write this one off while everyone probably scores the best surf the spring!!!! lol.

 

Gotcha, well the good news it probably won't be the "best surf of spring" so you aren't missing some huge well, just a fun glassy 3-5ft day, there definitely will be better days

 

DawnPatrol, I grew up in Largo, learned to surf over in Stewart and Hobe Sound area. Used to surf Indian Rocks and areas in Reddington, just wanted to say what's up. And I know this has nothing to do with the thread.

 

Hey what's up Zeroevol! Don't think we've ever met but good chance we've crossed paths in the water at some point. I grew up in Dunedin, surfed as far North as 880 Mandalay Apartments (CLW) and as far south as Venice Jetty and everywhere in between, but practically live at Ponce Inlet & New Smryna Beaches. Good seeing another local guy on here... you ever make it back around the old stompin grounds?

 

Been back a couple times, did not get to surf. I was usually Indian Rocks, or their was a place just south of Sand Key we called Restaraunts. East Coast, I was usually over at Canaveral Pier or Second Light. Got my first board from Manadaly Surf Shop in Clearwater. Dunedin, my aunt used to live up in Palm Harbor. Very cool to talk to ya

 

Yeah i know the areas you speak of, small world and very cool to talk to you as well! I'm headed East this Saturday to Ponce, looks like fun.
