Surfing Waves

Dude it's been flat here in RI for basically the last two weeks, WTF.


How can one surf without waves? If God wants to punish someone punish the Corporations polluting the ocean, not us surfers. There's no swell to speak of. It's been ankle-knee high backround (backround meaning nearly invisible swell that shows itself once every 7 hours or so for 20 minutes and then goes away) for two weeks and it isn't looking any better this week. I'm actually beginning to pray for swell for about 20 minutes every night before I go to bed .

You need to move to a different East Coast

Flat flat flat here too for the last 3 days. I was in Rodanth, NC this past weekend and had some fun waist high stuff. Surf Line is saying nothing till middle of next week here. I am so bummed. The temp. is hot and the water temp is 76.

we had great waves because of the tropical storm on sunday, i havent surfed since then. went to st. augustine monday and tuesday, didnt even get my board out of the bag.

its frustrating, but im gonna buy a skimboard tomorrow so i can stay sane. im gonna have to move somewhere with more consistent waves

here's our eastside

nice pics! pass some of that over here

Nice Pics. How often is the swell like that?

Top pic only works on an easterly, so maybe 4 times max a year, Second pic loads. Best reefs in the UK eastside, but the secon dis a sandbar best session i've had this year. Well most fun.

I reckon on average 10 days surf a month.

wish we got that down this end of the east coast

I might not make i over this year but its in the diary for another east coast US next year.

Sweet!

Hey guys, it isn't like this doesn't happen every year at this time. I suggest you do what I do. Swim laps at a community pool (3) times a week, lift weights and ride a 1/2 pipe. That way when a swell does arrive your not like some cow on ice.

dude its really flat in Carolina Beach, NC too

yep but i guess this is typical for june on this stretch of coast. just got to wait for a hurricane.

Hey ebby, Do you live in Carolina Beach? I am in Wilmington in the Ogden area.

Nice pics North Swell, I love the one with the tanker in the backround. I recently picked myself up a Gravity Mini Classic and an Element Standard so I can keep riding boards when I'm not in the water, so I guess I can't complain that much, only thing is it's been raining just enought today to keep the roads wet .

Or go on holiday. Where has surf at this time of year?

We don't have that up this end of the east coast just now!

Where is this magical section of east coast you surf Northswell and why is it so greedy with the waves?

yeah nouthsweel share some of your swell

That top wave could be split into thirds!

A third down to essex sucks..

A third up to me..

And you could keep a third and we'd all be happy!


Come on northswell don't be a grump we're all east coasters here!
