    Went surfing this morning at Long Beach, expecting to see 3 ft. waves. To be fair, most sets were probably only slightly above that . . . but it seemed to me there were some frequent larger sets. My best rides of the day were head to 1-ft-OH.

    Dunno just seemed underforecasted to me. I was stoked.

    There was quite some lateral drift though, but I just let it take me 2-3 jetties down, surfing along the way, then took one in and walked back to the starting spot, rinsed and repeated.

    Anybody else that was out there today?

    No, not really. I was at Lincoln and There were North-ish winds for most of the morning. Turned East-ish later but it worked out to give clean crisp waves.

    Wait, are you guys confusing Long Beach, NY with Long Beach Island, NJ?

    Head High on the sets is pretty accurate. I was pleasantly surprised myself. Serious drift tho.... offshores and pealing nicely...some very fun rides to be had.

    SE swell and hard onshore winds don't make a good combination for local beaches here. You could pick off a few, but mostly sloppy sectiony lumpers.

    Good day to be a New Yorker.

    Bro, do yourself a favor and shut up. If it wasn't worth the paddle yesterday on the morning low/low-incoming tide at LB, then you must never surf . . .

    And, for your reference, head high waves are when the face height of the wave is the height of the average person . . . that can happen due to a variety of things. Hurricanes aren't the only option, pal.

    Also, I can barely understand what you're typing. Fix your grammar.

    Not even. Head high is 6-12 inches shorter then the average mans height. If your standing tall while surfing, your not doing it right.

    ..your an idiot.
