So how big's it gonna get Wed/Thurs/Fri on west coast?
- Thread starter oneworlded
- Start date
I have a neighbor trying to get out of Aspen to home here, her flight was cancelled today, maybe Friday...
This should be good news for the Colorado River system and water starved California. Is it?
It's not bad news, but we need a lot more over the next few months to put a real dent in this drought.
Fuuuuuuuuuccccccccckkkkkk!!!!!!!Got my 7-6" ready for the harbor.
Every surf spot north of Santa Barbara to SF and beyond will be overwhelmed by this swell as usual. Only a handful of deep water reefs will be doable, and the rain/wind will probably wreck those too. SB will the place to be and why so many guys from CC travel down the coast on every big swell.
Did the local uncles shut down the slopes for you…and then invite you over to their house to fuck their sisters or is that just a Makaha thing?
I am on the Delmarva and no fucks given anout the sh!t brown storm water, wind and closeouts on most of the west coast. Been ballz deep since Christmas. Every day.
First time I have ever hard anyone flexxing about being on the EC. Balls deep?I guess Delmarva is a wave magnet because it is flat in nj.
Ocean City observation says the water is 45. gbg's balls are deep into his torso screaming RETREAT!!!!
Supposed to be some good birding on The Delmarva.
You'd love the Eastern Shore of Va. and Md. for birds. The surf, not so much.Supposed to be some good birding on The Delmarva.
It's rare that I feel, "Damn, I need a break from all this swell." It's a lot better "problem" than flat spells, that's for sure.
I had another great session today. Much smaller than last week. Pre-swell feelers for later this week?
Checked it and there were only two people out. Eventually there were 5 other people, but, as is common, only two knew what they were doing. But I'm re-thinking (again) the board I'm shaping for the spot. Since I surf mid week, mid day the crowd has not been an issue (on a weekend morning with the same conditions you would have 30-40 + people out). My thinking was design the board for the wave not the crowd. But I realized this morning that on a lully swell, two competent longboarders can ruin your day. The two would set up outside me (I was on a 7-4) and pretty much never failed to get the good set waves. I still had fun ones, but they were the shoulder high ones, not the head high+ ones.
It was still a pretty magic session. There was a double, double rainbow situation the whole time. The principal rainbow had two full spectrums. Then there was also a 1/4 of a second rainbow. After catching a right, on the paddle back to the lineup, the people in the lineup were perfectly situated under the rainbows. Would have made a great photo.
I snapped these photos after I got out. The tide was dropping and the right channel was starting to close (in the second photo, the right will close out). Only the small rights peeled. The lefts were still good. The rainbow was still there but not as intense (no double spectrum)
