You Need To Go Out There

After watching a few social media clips from today I can’t help but wonder how good it really was. I saw one from Brandon Fraley that looked like a solid messy head high barrel.

His looked better than any of the clips I saw from the Palm Harbor groms. Everything I saw coming out of their profiles were similar, although way less organized. The swell appeared to be a solid southwest swell, rather than the west southwest swell being shown on the buoy. Mike Peru sent me a couple clips of the point Honeymoon Island. The clip he sent looked like it was more manageable there than anywhere else.

The storm surge was a large one and is probably taking its toll. Honeymoon could split soon. I was watching the cam seeing waves breaking way out in front of the south Clearwater jetty. On a longboard you could literally almost ride those waves from the channel marker way offshore( well maybe not that far, but truthfully pretty close). Brendyn Levasseur posted a really cool picture from deeper in the pass closer to the end of where that wave breaks. It almost looked like it was dropping by afternoon.

A Fortnite video game professional was even out there giving it a go in the pass today, the man himself, Tfue.

I would be stoked to read what it was like for you today. Did you find any manageable waves? I opened back up the comment section, so post up.

There’s more fun to be had today. It looks better than yesterday. It may just be because I brought the longboard today. It’s easily as good as this time yesterday. Come on out. Catch a few good waves. The downside is that there’s a long wait between sets (yes there’s sets), and it’s really cold.
