Billabong XXL Big Wave Awards Nominees 2012 Video plus Lazy Update Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 PM  , Thursday may have some leftovers, but the offshore winds are blowing west out at the 120, so I wouldn’t count on much Thursday morning.  It shows a 1.5 foot ground swell which I have seen a swell that [...]

Last Wednesday (Feb. 22nd) , a week ago on that semi-glassy day we had at the Cape, Chad did his 2nd surf session for the day down at Hangers with myself.  We had some awesome clean and glassy lines coming in, with an occasional overhead set coming thru.  As I mentioned from that day, if [...]

Close to Epic surf today!  Unfortunately, something was happening that hammered the form of the Waves here at the Cape, but Satellite Beach was crankin! It was consistently chest to shoulder high waves, with an occasional 1 foot plus overhead [...]

The power of this ground swell hit 15 seconds at the 120 a couple times today in the 10 foot range between noon and 7 PM! The Cape will have glass, but we may have daybreak morning sickness (sort of), cause we may have SSW winds until 7 Am ish.  That’s sideshore for us.   But [...]

I try to keep the Titles of my posts brief and to the point…;) What can I say?  A lot of stuff going on, such as my OBSESSION WITH BIG WAVE VIDEOS, when YouTube and/or Magicseaweed.com release the Mid-Year highlites for the Billabong XXL Awards (2012 now) I gotta put that one on the front [...]

Full size images below if you want to click on them and see full screen. Okay, it’s a no brainer that we’ll have big, most likely overhead waves for the next 5 to 7 days…I surfed by the Jetty on Monday afternoon at high tide, for an hour, caught some 20 mph N to NW [...]
