Oh no! That sucks. I've been pretty ocean averse since I got back past week. Feel like I have PTSD from freezing in the water all January and February waiting for snow. Gotta get back out there!

Don’t worry, the water really starts to warm up come mid July. Just a few weeks away.
yup. usually stick with the thicker gear in cape ann until late may. water doesn't hit 50 until june normally
last blast before it gets flat? maybe something in three weeks, but nada until then
No thanks!!
Anybody???

NJ or further south eh
I dunno. Gonna be pretty onshore north of the storm. Maybe NJ is far enough away it won’t get fucked. I’d place my bets on south of the storm and sideband energy going into Long and Rhode Island.
But with two cat 1s tracking behind it, Surf is going to get whipped up.
slop chop and mush pushing. hope to get out but not feeling too optimistic about conditions.
Got out yesterday here in Maine, someone musta fired the hurricane hype alarm in Montreal as there were mobs of Quebexicans out in the lineup. Not much popping up beyond clean waist high sets. Got a few, couldn't quite find my feet through the hangover, did a split on the foamie which really massaged my hips, went in, took a nap on the beach while buddy finished up. Nice outing.
Onshore today but looks like it should be fun the rest of the week!
We'll get a wind swell, but the question is will the winds be kind to the swell.Quote:

Any idea from you EC fucks how far west this may push into NC? Got family there and all...
Looks like everyone inland who doesn't get the brunt of the wind will get a fuckton of rain. lose lose for everyjuan
Might still be cat 2 when it makes it here to Durham.. West of Raleigh.
Shit show Already at our house in South Jersey....beach already having issues and this next punch could cuase some real problemsQuote:

If it stays Cat 2 through Durham, that would be shocking, but maybe less so if there is already some flossing from the current rain. That is basically what Hugo did in S Carolina if memory serves correctly. Lots of downed trees but strongest wind across the wetlands areas, steeply decreasing with any elevation.Quote:

^^Carborro, so basically Durham. They have a lot with a bunch of big trees on it, and no chainsaw. i'm only hoping they have homeowner's insurance.
So they have a mortgage? Most lenders require insurance.
Currently looks like the worst of the wind field will
Head south of there.
Anyone surfing these past few days? Looks like solid swell hitting long island currently.
Vibes to all those in the hurricane path this week. Wishing the best to those y'all know down that way.
Got out this morning outside Portland, relatively clean, slow-moving long period swell. Head high with some big overhead sets. Best surf I've had in months, finally got a few good carves in that you picture yourself doing walking down the beach but never seem to pull off in the water! Grateful and stoked.
I always get a kick of all the weather terror the news crews drum up, then they show a shot of the ocean and the lineup is loaded with surfers.
Get some and get out of there boys.
My boys in Florida are on their 3rd day of overhead waves. Looked a little lumpy today 10th and 11th much cleaner.

Waves are dropping down south but cleaned up nice. I sit in my cubefarm in Utard with dry gills and snow months out hating you all. :fm:
Get some team!

Thanks for the warm water stoke.
Growing up surfing on the east coast, hurricanes were always a mixed blessing when they came ashore some where. Very nice lines in Florida.
Waves and fog for the past week...just like SC...except the 70 degree water :smile:
Nice to get out with my youngest while he was back for a couple weeks.
More mixed weather, but should be clearing on and off. Weekend should bring some defined lines across NE...
And it has. It is so good and looking to hang around. My oldest due home tomorrow from a surf trip and it's been better at home. Oh the luckQuote:

I can remember one of my best days in Maine. It was a Sunday. Big Nor’easter swell. Wind in the morning had my at Gooches, and then around the corner to a waves that never breaks but did that day. Home in Wells Beach for lunch, then off to the Outer Jetty. Wind had shifted due west, the left was bigger, but shorter. I rode the right. It had 15’ plus faces and was as good as I’ve ever seen it. My leash plug broke that session (I was on my home made board) and washed my board into the channel. Swam in, climbed up the Jetty and returned home. My buddy was watching football and would not budge. “Too big of a swell. Too strong of an offshore.” I went back, but he was right. The wind and tide had come up along with the crowd and it was mayhem at the break. So I went to the beach instead. Ended up a 1/4 off the Jetty, in front of Lisa’s (small salt box college - we used to name the sandbars by which girls house it was in front of) and got it as good as I’ve ever seen it. One, maybe two feet overhead. And like a machine. Each wave was better than the last, as you could focus more and more on turns and less on making it. Cover upS and slashed until the sun was setting. Went back home and got the score to all the games.Quote:

^^^ Wow that does look nice, perfect size and appears to be a good rhythm to them instead of getting slammed and all beat up between rides.

Looks like a big bump Sat pm-Monday. Gotta find some protection from the NE winds.
Check out Nevins "story" for pics from yesterday up this way.
