Yeah, junkshow. Half my town is out of power and it's widespread throughout the area. Pia with fridge stuff. Could be worse. Although, Crops web cam is down...that's real bad!

mega day at short sands. the first peak was going off this afternoon, though I imagine it was bigger this morning. SW breeze was offshore and big sets in shallow water.

Just stumbling across this sleepy little thread. Now I'm not a surfer, just a garbage man, but friends tell me that yesterday marked the 1st day in 3-4 weeks that the surf hasn't been great.
One friend sent me this pic from this past week of empty 6-8 foot long running faces and he was "forced" to surf it alone. He didn't sound too upset about it. Maybe I'll have to try out this surfing thing some day.

Naw man. You'd probably suck at it. No way you can learn at this age of yours. You need to be at least 16 to get a job hauling garbage. That is way too old to learn.

East Coast Surf
Well, it is an EC thread, so...
Lol. 6-8 ft.
EC - head high-ish, to lips flaring upward toward above you head. 2' backs.
SoCal - head high to 2' OH. 4' backs
NorCal - 2' to well OH. 6'+ backs
Hawaii - DOH to DOH+. 8'+ backs.
It is all about scale. Kind of the same for deep powder. That starts at about 50" in my neck of the woods.

Wow sounds complicated. He did say 6-8 foot FACES. Not the back. So whatever that means. Originally Posted by Ottime

Not complicate really. Just gets bigger the further west you go.
I know you are not a surfer, so it probably does seem troubling.
Tell your buddy no one else was out cause it probably sucked. That will really get his goat.
Hey, btw, do you go by the name bear?
I know it has sucked around here. Has not even been good enough for me to get off the coach for a few hours at a time.

Humpday afternoon surf report from the garbage man. I think I'm getting a handle on this whole wave size/quality thing.
Based on the buoy the swell was between 5-6 feet at 9-11 seconds with N to NE winds today. Not our usual clean, just a slight bump on it at times. Waves were waist to chest with shoulder and occasional bigger sets. So I guess that would equate to 4 inches Hawaiian or 8 inches by Cali standards, so weird. And as usual deserted.

Yes up north of the general store. SE/SSE moderate winds today. Going to go have a look at a NE facing spot in a few minutes. Will report back. Originally Posted by alev

Anything? Would be nice to get out today, even if small. Ive got the time and the motivation, and I just wolfed down too big of a lunch so I need the exercise.
I like surfing south of there, mid beach, right in front of the restaurant. Not convinced it's the best spot on the beach, but I've been able to figure it out a bit and know where the peak is gonna be given the tide etc

Solid swell in the water today. NE facing was the ticket. SE winds. Not perfect, but serviceable, and the only game in town. Meaning the only game between Gloucester Mass and Portland Maine pretty much. Head high plus drops on the peak. Decided to try my hand at the sport of kings and had the place to myself for over an hour and a half except for one friend that joined me for 45 minutes. The lefts were running fast. The pic is from high tide. It got better as the tide let out some.
