Memorial Day: The Week Before

Ah, before the crowd piled onto Wrightsville Beach, we had a small swell pulse in and the remnants
hung around all weekend.  It would not start breaking until late morning/early afternoon and Memorial Day madness was in full effect.  Monday it was almost gone but the people were still crowding the shoreline.  Hope you got some somewhere.

NE and E wind at 20 knots for four days, Monday was a mess but the Wrightsville Beach Pro Staff  was out making the best of what the ocean had to offer.  Tuesday, W wind and the Ocean was giving up some squishy gems. Lots of the Wrightsville Beach Loggers were out and getting their game on.  Half way through the falling tide was about as good as it was going to get.  Hope you got some.

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.

rode south to carolina beach today.  only two guys out mostly choppy but there were some rolling in.  britts donuts and the rest of the boardwalk will be crankin' soon.

D.S.T.

daylight savings at wrightsville beach.  this started friday and lasted through the weekend.
4.5'@15secs.  longer waits but uncw was on spring break so the line up was not crowded.  Saturday morning started out at 37degrees and nobody out.  Al and I had Cstreet to ourselves from 8 til 10.  fingers and feet were mostly numb when we were done.  Masonboro, sunday morning and the crowd was out in full force.  there were some sets breaking out passed the jetty,  a couple guys on longer setups got'em way outside and had some big faces to play on.  meanwhile the rest of us were scrapping it out on the inside for steep drops and trying to out run the close outs.  it is still going today 3.9' at 14secs WB has 10kt NE wind so you know where you should be.  get there if you can. later.

last day

its that time already.  this is the last day before you gotta starting coughing up the cash.
