Spring fever score reports - where are they?

Well, I just got back from OBX and scored there chest high everyday. Nice little push from the groundswell too. Clean everyday except for the last. Will post pics later.

 

Saturday afternoon was some of the most fun I've had in a long, long time. Stomach-shoulder high punchy wedges with head-overhead sets. Peaks scattered down the beach so the crowds were thin. Traded fun little barrels and walls with two of my buddies for a few hours, with no one out within a couple hundred yards. Pure bliss. Only downside was as the tide came in the impact zone got mighty shallow, mighty quick. I did some serious bouncing off the sand.

Been a great couple of months. My new job has me out at 3 most days, my water time has skyrocketed.

 

Was supposed to meet up with a SI forum member for good waist to chest high surf. It was more like knee high boat wakes, and long lulls between. Water was pretty. It looks like the waves, after a good month of various swells, are going into early summer mode down here. We usually get some more north swells late April. Maybe tropical season will ramp up soon. Stay tuned.

 

Sat Am was pretty fun. It was a tad wonky early on though. I had to check through a lot of spots to find one that was working well, and it was no secret spot. However, the waves were pretty damn fun, and plenty to go around so, no complaints.

 

gonna score this wednesday on the gulf looking like 11ft at 7sec

 

some decent waves yesterday at NSB, super sketchy this weekend since three people were bitten here this past Friday

 

Best ride of my surfing life Saturday-- 3-4' nice drop, super fun, long ride. And a big stoked up pat on the back coming off the wave from FLSURFDOG who was there with his new stick.

 

If there's been anything happening in VB, I've been missing it. Must be a timing thing.
Got out 5 times last week, mostly in the afternoon, and have nothing to report.
Have changed to a smaller, much lighter board the last two sessions, so I've been trying to get dialed in on that.
Will be out there (Dam Neck) this afternoon.

 

Yeah, things didn't quite work out as expected. Since I ended up at the inlet I think some of the bigger waves I got were indeed boat wakes. Definitely feeling more summery here. To celebrate, I went and shredded some 5 second wind chop yesterday. But fear not, Cocoa Beach, the Belmar of Florida, is just a short drive away!

FLY A BANNER FOR SHOTTING COCOA PIER ON 23' BARELLS!

 

Think I'm calling out of work tomorrow.

 

Its been good ya. Have two days off and its supposed to clean up where I am. Checked a few spots this morning, wind was no good, but mother nature sure was alive. Good to see the birds and rabbits braving 25kt gusts and down pours.

 

fwiw sand bars in wb, nc are shot

 

Yeah, it was super fun out at NSB. Where is it going to be that big in the gulf Gilman? I'd drive west for some of that.

 

Oh and now it's warm enough to rock da springsuit in Jax. Water finally warmed up and it feels AWESOME!!! Gonna take a 3 hour lunch today if the wave cooperate. Could be a fun longboard day down in Flawda bradahs

 

kai tomorrow is looking really good size wise at lido, hard onshores though so there should be some nice air sections

 

Thanks Gil, I haven't surfed the gulf on a good swell in years. Caught some small stuff in Naples during last Thanksgiving. Lido huh? I was always partial to Venice even though it's zoo like
