Man,  all I can say is,   it was like the difference between Pipeline and Keywest today.

I surfed the pier, and it was waist to chest high (North side), and shoulder high on the South.

Then I watched 6 people surfing down south at Hangars (which would be the same for any of the rock reef breaks),  and the set waves, the big big set waves were never less than 5 or 6 foot overhead.   The walls were so thick, peeling so perfect,  no a-frames,  they were closeouts in the middle, but the left and right shoulders were incredible.   For the 20 or so minutes that I watched, there were some even bigger sets coming thru.

The image above and the following sequence of 8 total images are actually from a group of 20 in a sequence taken by a Gulfster.com photographer. I just posted 8 of the images so that you could see how the initial wave drop in was 6 or so ft overhead, and then at the end of his ride it was still quite a bit overhead.

If you want to see all these images taken by Gulfster.com then check it out here: http://www.gulfster.com.  They were from Sunday, 11/14/2010.

We got totally blocked out in the North from North Cocoa Beach thru Canaveral.  I doubt even the streets got the full size that PAFB got.

Monday morning,   down south there should definitely be some head high plus waves.   And it looks to be wsw winds up till around 10 or 11 in Satellite Beach.

Great waves!

Hurricane Danielle provided a few fun days,  though we had to deal with some choppy conditions, that would be a thanks to Hurricane Earl sneaking up from behind keeping the onshore winds constant.   These pics were taken again by, yep you guessed it, Central Florida photographer Mike Melito from Lakeland.  Enjoy the pics and we’ll be uploading more from Hurricane Earl too!

Hello from Johnson Avenue Surfers Blog


I hope to capture the personalities of the folks that live just North, just South and on Johnson Avenue in Cape Canaveral that like to surf, or just plain enjoy watching us surf out there. 

We have a few old timers , over 60 that bring California, Hawaii and a bunch of other flavors to the surfing at the end of our street. 

We have middle age guys like myself that like to see how many times I can smash the water with my face under the excuse that I’m trying new moves. 

Young female surfers that put us to shame in many ways, but we don’t worry about it too much, cause they’re real friendly and great help at keeping the attitude mellow out there 🙂 

Excuse my excessive or non-clear verbage here,  I am kinda new at the blog thing, however I’m sure that eventually I’ll get the hang of it.  

Picture of me with the hat on while watching some hurricane Danielle surf.

Long wind cut short,  we hope to provide surf pics, videos and the personalities of the folks who live and surf here, along with an occassional visitor from down south, when the surf is to big and choppy for them to get out.    We welcome them as most of them seem to know the surf etiquette that we use up here at the Cape.

Enjoy our updates, and we’ll keep try to keep things friendly, hopefully entertaining and maybe even helpful.

Later,
