who here has been surfing this week?

does not appear to be showing on the East Hatteras Buoy, that is 150 NM away.

 

There will be pockets of perfect winds the next 72 hours....fingers crossed!

 

I know KR. I know, just joshin

SPOTBURNING ALERT BELOW


pretty sure that swell will be a dud in almost all of NJ and all beach breaks up and down coast
I could be wrong

I have scored the north end of OC as it wraps into GEHB, takes a long period small ESE angle with no cross swell
perfection and no one on it in the waist hi range, but sand mite be fvcked now
benefits to living in neigborhood and knowing sand, angle, conditions etc. thousands of people drive by and see it, but never check it and parking in neighborhood is sparse, its good to bike in

 

...............tptsnbn..............

 

I hear ya there! I used to lose the suite around 65 degree water temps (as long as the air temp was 70+) and now it's probably closer to 70. And that's just due to age right there. When I was in my 30's, I was out of the rubber by 65 and now it's at least 68 or so. I don't have a spring suite either, my best friend has one and he's been wearing it for a couple weeks now. Only he'll still be wearing it up to 75, while I'll be in trunks by 70!

 

early yesterday am...very small but still very surfable...the tide came up then the wind jumped on it a bit and went surf fishing in afternoon...caught a couple spinners in the pm.

 

A strong possibility, worth checking

 

is it just me or does everyone hate seeing people driving home with 4 boards on a flat day?lol I always scream kook at them.im on my way to work in the morning and seen some guy driving north with a few boards and I think where the phuck were they surfing at?i havnt surfed in weeks,its been flat for a while.idk if 1 footer shorebreak counts as surfing.idk maybe I'm the kook since I cant find magical waves when the forecast is dead flat

 

see it all the time going down the street...the road i live on is like a highway on a Saturday and Sunday...still enviuos tho just to see them go...and always in the back of my mind...should i check it?

 

I don't get annoyed if I see people drive by with their borts loaded up on a flat day. I figure some of them might just be scoping things out and checking out breaks and figure they'll pack their stuff in the event that there's surf to be had. Especially if they live a distance away from the beach. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt that they don't know the conditions.

Now when they get in the water with their borts on a flat day, that's a different story. That annoys the **** out of me when there's 30 people "Surfing" on a flat day. There's plenty of days like that ahead and I figure every day will be like by July. Flat or not flat.

 

As long as they're heading *away* from the beach, I'm happy.

Got a day last summer surfing this joint that holds maybe 5 people max, and there was 25 guys out. Just a focking clown show. 25 guys out, and 23 couldn't surf. Me and one of the locals took every wave we wanted, and used the crowd as an obstacle course while we weaved down the line.

Good times

 

Once you retire the crowds are no longer there; they are at "work", or, school.
It is a real pleasure sitting on the beach early morning, laughing as surfers exit stating they need to get to work, especially when it is 6-8 feet and glassy.
I just smile and say,"I have all day"........

 

next time you see that, if you had any balls you would run them off the road like Bunker Weiss and Warchild don the drive back to Venice after Bodhi and Utah beat them up

 

Fun waves this afternoon...guards whistle us all in on a unguarded beach...rode and said what's up. Foggy can't see anyone...I was like, this is an unguarded beach and proceeded back out. Don't think they liked that, but made no sense...wierd.

 

that's how it was when I was an unemployment bum thanks to Obama.i remember going to super crowded spots like Manasquan and there is 0 people on the beach during epic swells.definitly the most iv ever surfed in a year.now I get home from work and the waves are decent and I'm like fuk it I'm staying home lol.winter is the worst because by the time u get out of work its dark,i did have 1 job in long branch that was 2 blocks from the ocean used to surf on my lunchbreak.bossman was kind enough to let me store 2 boards in the shop

 

Me, too, er, uh, wait, the road i live on is a highway, rte 35 south, and i do keep thinking i must have missed good surf, except no one looks stoked, and just look like a bunch of kooks

 

I live in Manasquan and it's great, although it's exhibit A of what I talk about when I say there's too many guys floating around and pretending to surf on completely flat days in the Summer The inlet (which is the break in town) is the designated surfing beach in the Summer when the lifeguards are out. And there will be a million borts floating around in the Summer, especially when kids get out of school. Also on flat days and it's annoying as hell.

Since I'm basically off of work from late April till early September, I have all day to surf and the crowds aren't too bad on weekday afternoons, until it starts getting closer to July or late June when kids get out of school.

 

When I get out for an AM sesh on the longboard before work like I did today, I feel very fortunate.
The water has really warmed up since Tuesday. Must be close to the mid 70s.

 

Fun little session today. Got in it early. Not a breath of wind. Waist to chest high. A little weird and hard to judge. But the good ones were really good. And long. The drop was nice and easy then it would stand up and just keep going. Very user friendly. You'd think the wave will be a dud, go anyway, then you realize you have a long way to paddle to get back on the peak. Hadn't surfed in about two weeks. Glad i got in the water and glad conditions cooperated

 

Glad you scored some, Bass.

It was going off a little bit where I was. Super fun long period peelers that just kept going. Size ranged from stomach to head+ on the good ones. Wind was virtually nonexistent. Got this brand new CI dumpster diver off someone for real cheap and took that. All I can say is what a blast. One of my favorite sessions of 2017.

Yesterday wasn't quite as good a bit of chop, but you could tell that the swell was here.

Stoking off that sesh right now. San Jose Del Cabo tmrw. Yewwwww for the buoys.
