Where's the Tropicals?

We're currently ahead of last year, just haven't had anything off of Africa yet. Mid-late August it'll hopefully ramp up.

 

So much for Don.......unless you're headin' for Texas......on deck is Emily.

 

thread #300 w/ the same basic topic.

it's july. the atlantic cyclone season doesn't really get rockin' until mid-august. so far there have been 4 named storms, 2 of which have been in the central atlantic basin. that's pretty ****in' awesome if you ask me! no, we didn't get much (anything) in the way of swell, but so what? it's a good promise of things to come. relax a bit, go for a swim to keep your paddling muscles in shape, & have a beer. it'll come. patience.

 

swell will be here weekend of Aug 12, since I will be out of town during that time. That form of surf forcasting has
a good track record

 

The Wave Machine is broken, the new part needed to fix it is on back-order. Could take a couple of weeks....Go fish...

 

the ocean has stopped moving here

 

same here...just got back from a quick dip to rinse the sweat off after doing some work on the house & it was full-on lake atlantic; kinda shocking since there was a little micro-bump this morning while i was working out. thought about taking my log out, but figured i'd wait until the tide swung around & started pushing again. dumb.

 

They're in the tropics.

 

It is still July, the most boring month of the year if you surf on the East Coast.

 

although, I have managed to make dawn patrols and have gotten pretty lucky...just can't wait for some sizable swell...haven't seen any of that since April 17th....but I got my fingers crossed.

 

Ahhhh April 17th. That swell was huge, one of the most perfect days I can remember in recent times.

 

I dont know where most of you are surfing at but I have had rideable waves almost once or twice a week so far this summer. I'm either loggin, riding a fish or even body surfing there are rideable waves out there you just gotta search

 

yep, been very log-able this summer. not a horrible summer by any means. just wishin' for some bigger stuff is all. head-high or so would be awesome...

 

i hear the Atlantic ocean wave makers union local 22 is on strike?

 

nah, chris christie found out that they were considered "public employees" & had a union, so he villified them & decided they were too lazy & incompetant to keep their jobs.

 

i think the swell this summer has been way better than last summer! And I agree, it seems like every year on august 12 we get some nice waves! Last summer we had that low pressure system which brought in sets that were like 6+ foot! later next week the waves are supposed to start rolling in! school starts in like three weeks for me! so PRAY FOR SURF!

 

WEll McLovin then its defintitly going to be firing because i leave for Washington state the 13th, so if both of us are headed out of town then the waves will be here in two weeks guranteed I stated this before whenver i have to leave for work during hurricane season we always have tropical swell while Im gone, always

 

matt/42,you have all of our sand.up here for miles the lumps come in and dump on the beach.over 8 feet deep even at dead low.the entire island.plus more swell to the south this past month and a half.dead low looks like dead high everywhere around here

 

I heard the atlantic wavemaker has been taken offline due to lack of funding, until the budget mess has been cleaned up by the monkeys in congress.
