Didn't have a problem in this area, they were all trying to keep the tourists and kooky kids out of the water.. no one without swim fins allowed. Got some solid waves in that area. Be back there tomorrow.
Must agree Anytime I can still see 100 old men on 12' longboards and 6 year old spongers in the lineup, then I know just how bad it is. Real swell takes 3/4 of those people and blocks them from getting to the lineup. Seriously, I think I had to duckdive a total of 3 times in a 4 he session yesterday- what a joke. The "rip currents" did sell alot of news papers though and bring lots of tourists to the beach! Imust have ran over 10 different people yesterday , and I must say I am not really that sorry.lmao about hearing guys getting tubed also. Umm aframes don't barrell you dumbazz. The boards are staying dry Sunday- I'll wait for some real juice later this fall and winter.
I can say that last night I easily saw the best waves I have witnessed on the east coast in my 14 years of surfing here. A certain Delaware spot lined up and was grinding double overhead barrels for hundreds of yards. If you think it was over-rated, you either went out yesterday during the outgoing tide, or have no idea how to read conditions and make a call on what spot will work.
To be honest wasnt too impressed by conditions yesterday , was at the quan inlet and just way too many people sitting on one peak and mostly closeouts, everyone dropping in just trying to catch something--mess. But if you found a good went flying down the line. Today will be more fun with at least some hollow barrels coming through, be safe and charge.
ok my mistake ok- looking at the posted footage on here, I will retract my earlier statement. It definately looks like you guys got alot more of the swell up in nj then in de. I was at IR inlet all day and nothing like that was showing-up there. My mistake-shoulda went to jerz.- always better there.
"I can say that last night I easily saw the best waves I have witnessed on the east coast in my 14 years of surfing here. A certain Delaware spot lined up and was grinding double overhead barrels for hundreds of yards." unless you got pics or video,...sounds like bs for sure, get a grip man
nahh it wasnt overrated. It was big and fun. It was kinda weak in vb, the lifeguards wouldnt let people without a surfboard in the water past their knees.
Hey man, I'm not tryna be a **** but I was up at the naval jetty's from round 6:45-10am on sat and it was nowhere near DOH, or barrelling even for that matter. I went down to NIRI, got there around 10:30/11 and it was basically the same thing, 5-7' closeouts with some cleaner ones on the outside every now and then. After lunch went down to mid OC and saw alittle better conditions but not much diff. Do you have any pics of the surf at your secret spot in DE? I'd loove to see the pics and sure everyone else would too, if not, its cool
Finally someone else that shares my sentiments. This morning was fun....not huge! Head high sets. If I hear some moron tell me that he saw double overhead sets again...I am gonna snap! It didn't happen. The deepwater buoy was reading swells in the DOH range, but that never made it to the beach. I would say it was 6 feet tops. Glad I got on it early...wind did exactly what I thought....SOUTH! Don't tell me how epic NIRI was tonight..bc I would rather surf wind chop in OC with some umpf than soft northside.
Sunday over hyped, but still good surf in the morning MUCH smaller than yesterday. Started out about consistent head high. Occasional over head + sets. GLASSY in the morning, turning to mush later in the day. Small now. Andy Irons was back at Manasquan Inlet today... Heard Kelly Slater was there, but never saw the face.
Someone said he(KS) was down south in Hatteras yesterday. I wonder if that is who was doing the tow in stuff that Carson was talking about.
He said sat night and the other guy said sat morning. I thought the swell was going to get bigger during the day, so it would make sense that there is a disagreement.
Skeglegs : Sorry dude, yea your right, I musta read over saturday NIGHT, my bad. And Chris Joyner, thanks for the support but he was right and yes, it does make sense that it was smaller on Saturday MORNING as I witnessed, as compared to Saturday EVENING, to which Skeglegs was referring to. Gonna check the pics out now, hope everyone got some good ones
