Fun waves again here today. Nothing big but plenty of fun.forerunners here but tide/wind aint with the program...yet...
New swell in the water, cursed by NW winds again. Looks like another good day SNJ and LI
Wind seems like it is trying to straighten out, hopeless closeouts on my stretch anyway. At least I surfed solo.
in NY for the week. checked the local beach early this AM, knee to waist straight hand closeouts.Wind seems like it is trying to straighten out, hopeless closeouts on my stretch anyway. At least I surfed solo.

Depended on which break I guessin NY for the week. checked the local beach early this AM, knee to waist straight hand closeouts.

I’d say 3-4 fair to good was within range of reason
Was out at first light fishing and saw some corners, figured with incoming water it would only get better. Somehow it got smaller and more closed out when the tide filled in.in NY for the week. checked the local beach early this AM, knee to waist straight hand closeouts.

Watched East end LB/lido for a good half hour. The sunrise better than the surf, didn’t see a decent ride go down. Didn’t even think twice about suiting up
Good fun early, then too NNW for here IMO. A North warble, decimated sandbar added up to glad I got what I did when I did. Sam is gonna be hard to live up to already slight expectations.
I don't think it'll be as big as Larry but indeed, waves for sure. Did you look at the discussion on NHC? It won't hang off the EC for a long time when it gets even with the SE coast, but it's powerful and there should be a nice long run of swell from the waves its already kicked out on its current slow slog. Winds could be dicey.
Current models for my area are worthy of the Larry level hype. Time will tell. Been hoping something would line up worthy of driving to the Outer Banks but it looks like the winds down there won't be favorable.
I'm still surprised by surfline's calls. I thought Emerald Isle would be overhead. They're saying like waist to shoulder high on 4ft @ 16 seconds.
That should be head high+, no? Was thinking about a road trip, maybe get some offshores, maybe some NE crosses up the walls?
Emerald Isle's my local and 4ft at 16seconds will provide some head high surf but our bars are cursed for anything over 12 seconds. Usually just long closed out lines.
On a swell like that, low tide inlet sandbars and sandspits are your friends.
The gray suited cruisers and jellyfish that frequent those bars are not.
It looks like Pirf and those other spots are going to be sideblown raggedy to hell and back. I love me some Monster Hole but it does NOT tolerate side/sideoff blowouts. Most of those inlet sandbars look like horribly exposed shoals out the back, not dredged out banks facing due SW with the swell running into the inlet and wrapping.
