East Coast anyone

by **northswell** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 11:26 pm

we have a 30ft open sea swell, its gonna be big, in anyones standards.

Beaches won't hold the size unless its wrap around, points and shelter will be best bet. A few of the reefs will be ok, slab reeef as a rule, as big as evacuation swell last year. Will post pics if i get the time.

Sure there willl be pasties aeound with skis and photog.

i got in this morning before college, waves were about 3ft breaking really nice, wind wasn't too strong...went down just now (dinner time) and the waves are picking up on the dropping tide, i know where i would be hitting if i was here to surf this huuuge swellio!! (can't believe i'm missing it!!!) make sure you get some photos as i want to have a peek at what i misses. ENJOY!!

peeumping this morning on the East Coast :lol:

found shelter from the wind and a more manageable wave. A few South Africans in the line up tasting the bitter cold of the North Sea - they were ripping it up too.

Easy paddle out at this wrap around sheltered bay. North facing beaches pretty much maxed out early when i took my pics.

This pic grabbed from someone else shows how easy the paddle out is.

Swell was a lot more organised by the time this pic was taken and dropping fast.
