hey look out

Lots of people were let down as they walked out on the beach before sunrise.  The head high swell was getting killed before it hit the beach.  It was 10' at Frying Pan Tower and 3.9 at the Masonboro Buoy.  Still fun and it lasted all day.  There were some (long swell period) big sets and some nice little barrels for the ones in the right spot at the right time.  Life at Wrightsville Beach.

katia pt2

pt 2 of Wrightsville Beach Katia swell.  afternoon was a bit more crowded.  multiple drop-ins going on as everyone was trying to get theirs.   school groms were out in mass and killing it. 

wednesday katia

The swell from Katia is picking up and the beach is empty of swimmers.  With summer officially done and swell on the way as Maria heads for the Caribbean more waves should be coming after this round.  Everyone stay safe and enjoy the ride.
