I think that those who complain about over hyping and all that jibber jabber should read what they put up on the top left corner of the surf forecast page these website do help us know when the waves are but we cant blame them if everything they say doesn't match the water in the end its really up to you as the waterman to gain some knowledge about how to read a swell map and check the buoy. in short. dont believe the hype till you are being spit out of a grinding barrel happy hurricane season!!!!
