30 MPH winds tomorrow, 44 on sat. - Who's down to surf?

[ubermensch1324]

Going out tomorrow waves should be pretty good - forecast calls for head-high from the swell we are getting from the low in front of Alabama/Lousianna/etc.

I'm driving and I have 5 boards to choose from so take your pick - range from shortboards to one long one. Come on there's gotta be some old timers out there on the forums who surf!

Some motivational photos

I've got 2 boards but my boars is trashed and I was never very good at it. The other one is surf able. But a last I can't make it.

Yessir. Double overhead and reeling. Ticla and nexpa will make your legs hurt on a big south swell. Pascuales will make everything hurt.

Hey deano! Who was it that had their guts sticking out of their stomach that big day at nexpa. Gary showed us a video a while back. All I remember seeing was some dude crawling up the beach coughing and gagging.

Apparently you didn't check the forecast.

We are getting northerly winds tomorrow which cleans up the surf, doesn't make the surf choppy. Strong south-eastish/westish (ENE too) winds build up/chop up the surf and the northerly winds clean it. For Texas, it's good. For any other part of the world with halfway decent waves it's considered crap - lol. We are getting a ground swell and of course built up surf from the winds which will get pretty organized with the northerly winds tomorrow.

It will be clean and lined up for sat./sun.

I check it every day. It appears it is northish today. As you said good is a relative term.
When I surf here I always find my self whishing it was bigger or faster or standing up more or less windy. Unfortunatley, I spoiled myself years ago in the Pacific. But shortystillsurfs and if it gets clean I will see you there.
