and some of this

Late winter and early spring have dropped some good days on us whether it's been at Wrightsville Beach or a leap across the inlet to Masonboro.  The last couple weeks the weather has been steadily improving and the water temp has been on the rise.  Most people are out without boots and gloves and the walrus suits of winter are slowly getting thinner.  Bikinis and board shorts have been along the edge of the shore and a couple in the line-up but they aren't lasting long in the 60 deg water.  It won't be long and we will all be out of the neoprene for a while.  Hallelu Jah.

Thursday Swell

riding high

looking up

gotta bail

in deep

almost

Some swell was showing yesterday at the South End of Wrightsville Beach.  Wind NNW (going N) and ESE swell.
Mostly closing out on the larger swell.  But there was one bar almost at the jetty that was providing
some longer lines.  The pier had a rip that was tearing up the line but a few guys were managing some
decent rides.  By the time I paddled out the wind was starting to pick up (heading more N and NNE) and the tide was falling hard, chopping up the faces.  Better than what we have though, not complaining.
 

too busy

small wave this morning as a low came out of the Gulf.  Yesterday we were waiting for heavy rain and wind.  A strong SW wind did bring us some thigh-waist high surf but the wind was playing tricks and it kinda died some with the high tide. I should have gone this morning but the 4th Annual Cape Fear Striper Tournament http://cfrw.us/stripertourney.html is this weekend and I had to the undirty boat .  man it was nasty. 

hey al, nice bird and i hope your arms are okay.
