TS Dorian

In Charleston, it was ankle high in the early morning. It increased with the tide throughout the day, to a max of a bit over knee high. Then it was starting to die of as the tide was going back out. Better than nothing.

 

Yeah I hear ya man. Gotta just take what you can get this time of year.

 

When it comes to you, Billy, it's the tenth man rule for me. Peace out

 

Swell Energy from the remnants of Dorian peaks on Wednesday for most areas.
Nothing big, but should be fun for a lot of areas.

 

Thanks for the info. At least there are some scraps after that anticipation. Is this what's responsible for the unusually long period in the northeast mid-week? What specific areas are getting a good benefit from the remnants? Thanks again!

 

Dorian waves have yet to break on the east coast. The leading edge of the wave field arrives mon evening. Check the buoys and give it a look up close and personal tues and wed, you'll probably be glad you did.

 

Thank you as well. Is this currently reflected in the extended surf forecast on SI and other sites? I see long period for the northeast then some decent swell bumps but with disorganized chop and short period. Should we expect the reports to sweeten?

 

My scale ain't off.

I'm talking what the actual wave faces are. I don't care what the swells are doing in the open ocean. I care about the waves at my favorite jetty. It don't matter if it's a 6 foot swell at 3 seconds or a 3 foot swell at twenty seconds........all I care aboot is the actual height of the wave faces.........at my favorite jetty.

So if Belmar was five foot due to a 2.5 swell height at 20 seconds.......you'd call the waves 2 foot or 5 foot?

Oh Yankee, what the hecks is the "tenth man rule?" Aw man, what kind of insult is that? Man, everyone is so vicious around here. It's safer in Camden.

 

MEET ME AT MY JETTY!!!

PB&J - how goes it bru?

 

Well Spicoli, I just returned home from a shred. My eyes are stinging and my left ear/side of my head is stuffed-the-F-up.

Surf was almost doing it, but not quite.

I saw a couple cool dogs and two dolphins.

God bless you, Spicoli.

 

PB&J, a true gentleman and a scholar.

PM me with where you charged. I'm bout to roll out once I discern what's worth the ride for tonight/tomorrow in the northeast. You may be too far in the Mid-Atlantic for a two-day trip though. Save that for storm chasin.

There acid rain in the waters at your jetty? I find myself running nose buddah throughout most sessions, but I haven't became ill out of the water even at rainy rivermouths. Did have a cough a few weeks back but the long-acting cough syrup helped that malady.

Were those pups a mating? I know the dolphins were. Those horny bastards!

 

I would call anything over 15 seconds in Belmar a closeout.

 

So the Dorian swell is finally here and it's disappointing to say the least. Looks like it's semi-closing out most places here. 111 degrees ESE is a bit too much east for here. We need closer to 130 degrees.

 

yeah it was closing out at 4foot im like wtf...what a waste but lets try to get 10,000 hits!!

 

the universe actually aligned for me to catch some good ones yesterday, thank's Dorian! I surfed Indialantic in the morning and satellite beach in the afternoon (central florida) on an old friend's McTavish Original 9'1. Surf built to about chest high, maybe head on the rogue sets. Had a blast, enjoyed the clear warm water of CFL.

 

Nice long waist-stomach high sets in SC. Nothing epic and a bit mushy. It was only worth a damn around high tide, and it rained the whole time. I wish it would have been cleaner, but I will take it.

 

Same size and shape on the Eastern Shore yesterday. Tues was a bit disappointing, knee to thigh but Wed was almost perfect. The only thing that could have made it better is if it were a few feet bigger. No wind, perfectly clean, easy paddling, nice interval and no kooks. Water visibility was great too.

 

How's anyone here have aggro lately if they're getting days like this even 1-2 times a week? Damn. If not for the Carver board, I'd be setting up consecutive Slip & Slides down hilltops and taking the skegs off the stick.

 

^^summer creates aggro

 

Went to Jax Beach last night and it was clean and around chest high on the bigger sets. The tide was going out and most of the waves were closing out so I didn't stay in the water too long, but I did hang out and watched the waves for a few minutes. It was crowded and maybe every 5 minutes 3 new guys would paddle out to the line up, and eventually leave 30 mins later due to the close outs.

The buoys are still showing some good period, hopefully there will still be something left this afternoon and tomorrow morning. Been a fun week here in N Florida so far.
