What do you mean...There was something to ride almost everyday last week in MD. It had to be fairly similar in RI when TS Beryl (SP?) passed through.

if you east coasters want to complain about surf, try living on the gulf coast

nah Drifting along, hit about a max around Wednesday night, went from Tuesday night to mid afternoon Thursday. North Easterly winds turned it into crap apparently, very funky weather round here lately. Glad someone in the East is getting some surf, besides I couldn't catch that swell because first off I don't have a car, second I was and still am sick, third I couldn't miss school because of finals :x . Hoping to catch some swell Friday though :D , be praying for it up here, I'm dying, it's been two weeks since my last sesh which was pitiful, considering I was trying to catch waves that were literally ankle slappers that had no power whatsoever (2 ft swell 5 sec period) :( . And to waytogofranko, I honestly didn't know there was surf on the Gulf Coast except during hurricanes, hmmm...I did know people surfed the Great Lakes but I guess being in the Gulf if just never seemed surf could be produced there without big storms. My heart and sympathy goes out to you :( .

Northswell, is the water always that colour?


hmmm I'll take my slightly smaller, but regular and clean waves that happen maybe 26-29 days a month thanks. 8)

Just re read the last few posts. Those waves i posted pics of are rare, the first does only work a few times a year, but the bottom on is an East facing beach on a huge northerly swell.

We don't always get size but we do get pretty consistant swell down the North Sea, unfortunatley not as consistant as yours, probably 10 days a month on average.
