LONGEST East Coast wave....

There are a number of points up north that can be longgg.
Esp in Nova Scotia..

 

i can tell you the shortest!
i live there.
if you make the drop and see a wall and squiggle a bottom/check turn it's a good one.

 

Thats bogus...

 

lotta coves out there=by the southside of the point in hatteras,the cove in cape may,the cove at the hook,etc..
which one?

 

Grew up surfing Sandy Hook NJ in the 70's - 80's and those jetties, before the armycorp ruined them offered some of the longest waves around. 1st Jetty could be the most perfect wave I have ever surfed. Unfortunately they are all under the sand right now and unless funding goes bankrupt they will not be seen again for a long long time. The cove "at the Hook" as it is now is nothing like it was back then, and hardly worth checking anymore. All of the great surf spots in northern Monmouth County have been ruined, The wall in Long Branch, Seven Presidents, Bradley Beach and Belmar were all great and are now mediocre at best. We all need a time machine to go back 20 years and ride those waves like they were.

 

I have seen waves on Pea Island break for hundreds of yards on right conditions.

 

the longest east coast wave i ever saw was at fisherman's island from the bay bridge heading north. the waves were peeling unreal long and walled up wrapping around the point, no one out

 

Longest East Coast Wave


Is this a word jumble?

How about longest flat spell. 3 weeks?

 

no, how about 2 months? (Not counting anything under waist)

 

Since when is Nova Scotia not on the east coast... ? pretty sure the question was asking what the longest wave on the east coast was.

And yes, Nova Scotia does have some longggg waves, there is a right that i know about that when its working is probably about 400 yards. Pretty good stuff.

 

1st. You have never had a 30+ second ride at "The Cove" I have to stop laughing so hard to keep typing.

2nd. If you exclude Nova Scotia your excluding waves like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJDVgiG0Xx4

Thats a point break. Which the Cove is most certainly not. Count how long the outside wave breaks and tell me The Cape May Cove has ever been that good.

 

It can get brutal but thigh to waist is hardly flat. If you don't have one already... get a longboard! You'll thank me later. It'll change your whole outlook on crappy summer windswell. It won't turn the Cove into a 30+ second wave but you know

 

Coming from ns, i know this spot quite well. Its pretty popular but to no regards is looked at as a "long" wave. I'm not saying that you can't have a thirty second ride on it, but i'm saying that there are definatly longer waves around here. That wave.. known as "teahouse" is regarded as more of a hollow wave when its about head to overhead.

 

As you may or may not know....thats considered relatively epic-ish, in terms of length, roun' these parts. Why do you think no one is out in the video? Is the other side of the headland holding a right thats three times as long?

 

I'm not old enough for a job, but I'm saving up for a nice Eavey this summer... lots of lawns...

I've been surfing those days when it's knee high, It's just that I want some action! You know, something to make freezing by rump off worthwhile!

 

ahah your probably right on. When teahouse is working, most of the time the right is even better. There has been many times when i check teahouse and it looks like the video, almost go out, then decide to check the right and its 4 times better. but the right is probably the most crowded wave in nova scotia (other then lawrencetown beach in the summertime) with like 20 guys out on a good day aha..

The surfers in this don't really do the waves any justification, although this wave is ideal when its a little smaller then this. But see for yourself why they call this spot minutes.

 

there is no way you got a 30+ second wave at the cove in cape may. however i did get the longest barrel there of my life. only surfed cove during late fall, that seems when it turns on. haven't surfed it in a couple of years.....
