    Finally Sunday afternoon looks a little more promising. It looked like it was going to be blown out and more or so VAS conditions. Are we going to be getting a little less on-shore and a little more side-shore winds. What caused the sudden change to 1-3 foot CLEAN OVERHEAD BOMBS. Can you tell im syked.

    Hey guys,

    as you can see the with low pressure so close the coast, the little changes in the forecast track can make significant changes.

    Still looks like potential for a late day offshore shift in delmarva. We'll see...

    VB better than Hatty???

    Ive been looking at this for a while now and it looks to me that VB could be better than anywhere down south! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an epic north end session!!!:D

    Went to 42nd in VB at 1:00 pm. Stiff winds blowing out of the south and a strong current made it a bit harsh. There was a slight clean-up around 3 pm. Caught a few decent waist high waves and did a lot of walking getting back to the car.

    You can almost get by with a spring suit in Oct and Nov. It all depends on the Fall.

    Spring suit??

    Ya maybe a springer... But most likely a full suit and maybe boots in Nov. But if your gonna drive from Harrisonburg to surf you should just take the extra time to hit up Hatty. Its not to far and always about 2 times as good. VB has no good spots really. There is first street, but every kook and their uncle surfs their so I would stay away from there. VB is pretty much just 1 big shifting sandbar, quite a ****ty one this year I might add.

    ok

    do you know how far away harrisonburg is from VB or hatteras? they would prob have to be weekend trips, but at least it would be fun to get in the water at college. the temps you mentioned are much better than right now b/c i ride jersey water and it gets coldddd. any more advice would be appreciated

    I guessing around 4 and 1/2 to VA Beach. Down south adds an hour and 1/2.From there to Hatteras adds another hour.

    This December and Jan we had days that the water and air temps made it possible to go without booties and gloves. I didn't need boots are gloves two weeks ago in Buxton.
