Hello Friends,
Finally. A perfect autumnal morning with fun size, punchy sets and light wind.
The stretch from just south of Northy to north from the awful looking seawall was waveland this morning. There were peaks and people up and down the beach. My guess is that there were around 100 people in the water (at least). So you weren’t Robinson Crusoe (look it up youngsters!). Plus it was on the setty side, so most of the people in the water were waiting for a shot at something. And being beachbreak, only a few were makeable beyond a couple of turns. But, it was beautiful and if you were in, you had a chance to win.
The pics below were all taken at the peaks in front of Surfrider Gardens.
