Nothing now...maybe weekend?

That front that came through last night didn't do much for the waves. There's a small wave, but nothing really...

Later in the week another system will come through. Depends on the wind on the backside of this front... There will be waves- but will it be clean in LI or NJ or both? Time will tell.

Stay tuned.

Go get some!

Looking pretty good out there this morning. Solid ESE swell, with light northerly winds. Low Tide at 7:30...incoming all morning. Should be pretty good all day- as long as the winds cooperate.

Tomorrow will have some fun leftovers, I think.

It's sunny, warm(er), and there's waves. Go hit it!

(It might be glassy enough down in nj, too)

West Winds

There is swell in the water, but the westerly winds are hacking it up pretty good here on LI. Down in NJ, looks to be a bit better.

Minor Background Swell

There's a little bump out there now- should last through the end of the week, more or less. Could be fun at the right tide for some slides.

Looking a little further out... there is a front coming through later this weekend. That should create some south swell for us.

Better

Incoming from low tide was pretty good this afternoon. Chest high range, maybe a few bigger sets here and there. Pretty fun. Nice day, water's warming up a bit.

Saw a kid out in a 3/2, no boots, no gloves. He stayed out for at least 20 minutes! I know it's spring...but jeez the water is like 40 degrees.

I'll take a look later, but I am guessing the dropping swell and high tide will kill it.

It's alright, I guess

Waves look pretty small, and are closing out a bunch with the east swell. Every once in a while a decent wave hits the right sandbar and peels- but not often enough for me to bother suiting up.

I'm going to keep an eye on it all day. Winds are forecast to stay west... Perhaps it will look better later.

Long Period Swell, with onshores

There is some swell out there, but the onshore wind is messing it up. Tomorrow might be decent, though. Still some swell, and west winds are forecast for the morning.

Let's see how this pans out.

Pffffft

Typical. This morning, winds were light, but the tide was too low. Then the tide came in, and the wind came up.

haha

Can't win.

Waves are here

There was some rights and left coming in this morning.

Look for this swell to continue on tomorrow. Hopefully, the wind will have enough west in it to be good!

Should have gone out earlier!

Typical- I waited for it to get better, and it got worse. It's pretty crappy looking now, maybe waist high crumbly closeouts.

Oh well, it's not like I really missed an epic session earlier, anyway...

Saturday Waves

There's a little wave today. Tide was a little high, but it looks around waist high. It's worth a check, if you don't have anything better to do.

I might go out when the tide drains a bit more.

Evening Report

Wind never really went offshore here. It was light, but a bump stayed on it until dark. We managed to get a couple turns, but it would have been much better with an hour or so of offshore winds. Sets were about chest high, maybe a touch bigger on the drop.

Guessing it will be flat in the morning with hard offshores overnight.

Looks Pretty Damn Good

Waves looked super good pretty much all day. Too bad I've been sick. I'm sure Alex pulled into more than his fair share of tubes while I was laid up on the couch.

The little swell that could

I was impressed with the holding power of this swell. The incoming tide was damn good- lining up nice with some decent barrels coming through, plus it had some push behind it.
Though...a pack of people showed up (again) and paddled out where we were sitting. Am I nuts, or does this piss you guys off, too?
Changed jetties, and got a sick backside barrel from behind the peak. Grabbed a rail and pointed it towards daylight...couldn't believe I made it. Got that one on mental playback!

Don't think it will have anything left for the morning- but maybe? Hopefully?!

Post-Session Update

Tide drop helped the waves a bunch. There's some pretty damn good rights reelin off the local jetty. It's still about chest+ with some better sets.

I was surfing with a buddy for over an hour when a bunch of people show up at once. They all paddle over the jetty where we've been for quite some time. This alone drives me nutty. There's scores of jetties in either direction and they need to plop down right next to us. One of the kids decides to paddle around both of us- so when he starts paddling I drop in on him. He looks bewildered. I gave him an explanation...hopefully he learned something. Maybe he'll tell someone else. (Though, my guess is that he'll complain about it to his friends, instead)

Lunch now, and then probably go out as the tide starts to come back in...

It would be so good right now if....

Typical. If the X (wind) was a bit Y (less) it would be so good. Ughh.

Anyway, there's still waves it's about head high on the sets. The wind (25+ kts) is making it look almost impossible to get into waves, but it's still do-able. It's also looking pretty mushy due to the wind blowing the tops off of waves. Maybe the dropping tide will help.

Well..... I'm going out, again. (at least it's warm!)

Wow Windy!

Cranking offshores with swell at about chest+. Buoy forecasts that it picks up some more as the day goes on, but it's hard to believe with the wind blowing that hard. Hopefully, it stays true and stays good as the tide drains this afternoon.

I'm not taking any chances- I'm headed out!

Wasn't that good...

Well, I think I got a little too excited... it wasn't that good. Really inconsistent.

Better?!

Dare I say that it looks better now than earlier? I do.

.....and I'm going back out now!

Post Session Update

Got some fun ones this morning- it was a little deep, but still had some chest high rights pushing through. The swell angle was good for the local beach, and we had a few waves line up nicely.

Look for the tide to start draining out soon. That could/should cause the waves to get a bit better- buoys are nearly the same readings since early this morning, so we could get another session in...

Nothing epic- but some decent little waves.
