I've been on a pizza & beer regimen since April. I'm fucked.
C'mon Irene, make up for this bullshit summer!
Crap
Pizza is on speed-dial atleast. And I'm stocked on Sam-Adams
C'mon Jose, throw us some lumpy burritos!
Spent Saturday morning in the water in Eastham, MA. Flat. Couldn't stay for the afternoon session and low tide which would have been pretty good. Tomorrow out there should be excellent but I have to be in the office.
This just in on Boston.com:
Surfer arrested on Mass. beach
HULL, Mass.—State police say a surfer who refused to leave Nantasket Beach in Hull has been arrested.
State police spokesman David Procopio says they went to the beach Sunday to clear several surfers and all of them agreed to leave, except one, who was taken into custody on a disorderly conduct charge. He is being held at a state police barracks. His name was not released.
Heavy rain and strong winds were reported in southeastern Massachusetts.
I'ts going to be 3ft at 10 seconds tommorrow morning when the wind cranks west, and then it'll be flat by Noon.
I hope atleast.. otherwise it's back to cold-pizza breakfast.
Couple pics I took since I couldn't surf.

seacoast nh was solid chest/head with bigger sets this am till noon. winds cooperated. tons of folks out chasing the hype machine. overall a big nothin when everything was factored in. didn't even make the top 10 of my days this summer. it's all about the sleeper sessions/swells for me.
tomorrow should be better with folks back at work and a wave still present.
rog
Mind surfing that first wave has led me to the nicest little double barrel a goofy foot could ask for. Too bad my real skills don't equal my mindsurfing skills :biggrin:Quote:

Did anything happen in R.I., or did the winds fuck it all up. Seems like there is plenty of variety in exposure. Jersey looks like it got good later in the weekend, with offshore - but still nothing too big.
Ottime, shooting with a canon T1i with 250mm zoom and polarizing filter. The last 2 shots were a "point" that breaks pretty close to shore.
me and a friend hit up Judith point friday and saturday, It was good through sat afternoon, till wind picked up onshore, cool thing about that point is you can go to the other side and surf k39 etc and get some protection there. the waves never got terrible big, maybe 3-4ft overhead, on good ones...We drove over to newport later in the day just to look at ruggles, it really goes off in big swells, but was getting wind jacked too.Quote:

Spent plenty of days at Judith and one at K...
Katia. Looks perfect. That trajectory will send ground sell to NE even if it does wash ashore. A slow, progressive arc to the right would be killer. Good luck in that one.
Post-op today. Still no surfing for me for at least 2 weeks. Fuck.
Dude. That just guarantees that L will be on the heels of K, getting drawn into its wake, and intensifying beyond belief due to the cyclone warmed water, and generating insane swell on the already disturbed water surface. Bummer.
But then again, the entire EC surf population will owe you. Still, bummer.
For first time in a LONG time, this past Saturday I actually thought to myself: Damn wouldn't mind being back in Central Florida right now.
Some incredible shots from that area
monday was good, yesterday was unbelievable, and today was a real sleeper.
more waves on the way. been such a good summer.
rog
That thing north of Bermuda looks good for you guys. And everyone will be waiting for Katia. Should be fun around there the next week. Of course, it ain't bad here right now.
yesterday was small and gutless, but the 5'10" motivator worked like a charm. waves building all day today with maybe waist/chest+ by late afternoon. weekend and beyond looks to be great.
anyone else here surf a bunch without a leash even when the surf gets good? man what a difference. really improves yer surfing and general control/awareness out in the water. just don't loan yer board out to someone that isn't used to it ;)

I had a guy ditch his board 2-3 times in front of me yesterday as some of the outside sets pushed through, lucky for me his leash didn't break :fm:
tonight was wicked fun at the wall as the tide dropped. good size and power. tomorrow will be really good as well. nice to have waves every day.
MPPG, why all the butthurt? not enough water time, maybe?
rog
Should have enough water time over the next few days. Why all the quite over there? You folks too busy trying to find some water time. Looks like each day should get better through Saturday. This is looking like a good Rhode Island storm. Okay for you gents north of the Cape, but better on the rocky part of the elbow for sure. And then there is number 14 right behind here. Albeit a bit south of the Katia track, this could be a one, two punch for y'all.
I should have booked a trip home
after 9 days in a row, today was a rest day. mostly chop out in the ocean for us now. gonna try to hit it in the a.m. when the winds are light, but not much for favorable winds here for the coming days maybe. a friend of mine is having great luck on the vinyard and i'm heading there for 3 days starting sunday.
love this time of year. skiing couldn't be further from the mind.:biggrin:
rog
did not disappoint. just 3 of us out at one of the best beach breaks around with o-head sets. 6 ft @ 13 seconds. the few longboarders that showed up gave up trying to get out. ah, the beauty of beach breaks on bigger days. some drops were of the "air in" variety fer sure. speed wobbles on the blunt set up quad added to the excitement at times. may go with the thruster set up for tomorrow for a bit better hold.
tomorrow should be even bettah!
rog
I know there are plenty of stoke photos from the east coast this past week, post 'em if ya got 'em!
First weekend since I put away the skis in June that I wasn't in the water. Feels weird. I miss the motion of the ocean.
Not too bad of a situation.

surfed perfect little little rights at squibby today on the vinyard. trunks and a ball cap. air and water temp just about perfect. just me, my girl, and buddy tom out.
back in nh now. what will tomorrow bring?
september in new england is unbelievable....................................
rog
As a generality this has been quite a sub-par past 6-8 months for surf in New England.
I guess we have a difference of opinion.
Just disregard anything Rog sez, dude thinks dynafits tour like shit, and skiing EC is better then west. Kook.Quote:

this afternoon saw some waist high sets with decent power. size is increasing slowly with a 15+ second period. tomorrow and sunday morning should be fun. monday pm through wed mid day should be more fun as size should be there.

That's BB, that says the largest part of the swell was 1 foot at 4.8 seconds...
That explaines alot, you are using offshore buoys like jeffreys. How are the surf breaks 50 miles offshore? Epic?
When the tide goes out, it makes a epic 2ft swell at a massive 15 second interval on the jeffreys and stellwagen buoys. And thats on days that when i fart offshore, the smell wont drift or waft away from me.
jeffreys isn't all that far offshore when all things are taken into account. jeffreys is the only sure bet when knowing if there's gonna be decent surf or not.Quote:

i just counted up my days and sessions since late april. yes i keep track. 56 days, 82 sessions, all on the short board with only 2 longboard days. not a bad summer i'd say, and this last swell lasted 12 solid days with many many sessions. surfed em all.
morning should be fun maybe, get on it!
