    Greetings! <br />Let me explain my preposterous subj heading...<br />I can make that claim because I have created a new metric by which to measure the sometimes/often times sh#tty east coast slop we get in Summer. One simply has to measure (guesstimate of course) how far down the line or in case of a close-out, how far towards shore one has ridden the rinky dink lil wave. On a normal, howlingly side shore, 2ft. blown out day it makes for funny looks in the lineup when I'm screaming to friends how I just snagged a \\\"23 footer!!!!\\\" (maybe that was what NJShredmachine was talking about all this time?? lol)<br /><br />In other news the surf is finally up on the NC coast. <br />That South Swell was wrapping in nicely during high tide at CB just a lil while ago. I hope some peeps got to sample that. If not it should be here all weekend. sEe ya shredders in the H20! and good luck catching that elusive \\\"56 ft.\\\" wave!<br /><br />-people call me \\\"stoked guy\\\" but swell info wouldn't let me change my handle! peace!

    Then I caught a couple of 300 footers today?

    [which really means I went 150 feet - since every surfer I know exaggerates, or at least as they re-tell each best wave ever stories]

    I'm no computer surgeon, but that seems like some sort of HTML auto format setting or something.

    I'm glad it's starting to wrap into CB. Got a few good ones mid-morning in WB today.

    Well glad someone was able to capitalize on this swell!
    I for one have had rotten luck!...after posting the above garbled post on friday I had to rush off to Raleigh for a rock show that very same night. I promised myself I'd get back to the coast early this a.m. only to have car trouble and got stuck in said Sprawlopolis til now...how was it today? anyone?
    Ruined a whole day hanging out with hipsters and other assorted jerks du jour. Oh well there's always tomorrow AM! see yas

    hahaha indeed! I've never caught a 150 footer! I hope some photographers were able to document that :)

    Yes. It's looking pretty good out there right now. I'm choking down a cup of coffee then headed out--I suggest you do the same.

    150-200' on the sets....
