    I like how the surf forecast for Frisco next week is small as hell, but Buxton up north is head high predictions. Frisco always gets the shaft haha...

    Anyone hitting up the Island for International Surfing Day tomorrow?

    Frisco is best in the fall. The entire southside gets a lot of swell from the southern lows (and tropical storms/hurricanes) and the wind switches and comes out of the North which is off-shore and the perfect recipe for some heavy barrels and far paddle outs. Some of the best waves I've ever been out in have been in (or near :D) Frisco.

    Well, Frisco faces south, so its not gonna pick up a NE windswell.

    However, Give it a nice southwest swell and north winds, and Frisco will be perfect, while Buxton is tiny and sideshore...

    nice...Frisco was just alright Saturday and Sunday. pulled off a couple decent rides, but otherwise practiced some dropknee bodyboarding...hopefully we get another tropical storm down that way this Summer - Cristobal made for some sick waves in Frisco last year.

    hope the weekend treated everyone well
