You all may remember a guy that used to surf with us before he got a dog and broke some bones 🙂  Well, his name is Mike and he’s back !

 

Dammit! I hope I'll be able to see Mike catch a wave, from down here. His dog was tellin me he's surfin again now that his dog is house trained :)

These shots are from the great ENE swell that hit us on Wednesday for the chest to overhead glassy day, February 22nd. It was closing out pretty quick out back here on Johnson, but there were still some nice rib to chest high waves with even a bigger set rolling thru.

These shots are a sequence of Mike, who by the quality advice of the boardwalk advisement group,  were taken of Mike while surfing Dr. John’s squatters rights South Surf break at Johnson.  But since the Dr. was not in,  Mike took the long ride for the day, perhaps.  At least for while I was standing there feigning the work of photo taking.

Surf Report; we have a weak, no fetch to speak of wind swell coming in probably Sunday afternoon late almost direct North with a hint of East.   Down South may see something late Saturday,  chop slop North wind stuff, but the Cape is totally blocked out of this one until maybe

Yeah baby, I got another turn on here before you close the door. Image 3 of 7 sequence. Rip Van Mike

Sunday afternoon late.  And then some onshore chop thru maybe the week, with a chance of Thursday or Friday of the offshore winds for a few hours.  The part for Tuesday thru Thursday comes in Tuesday, piggy-backing the former N swell, and as far as the Tuesday part 2,  it comes mostly from the East, so everyone should get a piece of that.

It ain’t gonna be pretty, but it will be some head high waves probably somewhere along our Cape to Satellite corridor 🙂

Once we start to see part 2 coming in Tuesday, we’ll start tracking the offshore winds day.

Hope you enjoy the pics of Rip Van Mike.  His style was great for being asleep that long 🙂

Fluid as ever. It's probably the new beard :) Image 5 of 7 sequence.

He may not admit it, but this must be a satisfaction and a thank your creator for this great stuff, meditative moment.

I’ll post more in the next week from a couple killer rides by Sunny, and Rip Van Mike who finally woke up after a few broken bones.  He still ain’t over the hill, but I’ll save that for another day.  It needs to be handled with care 🙂

Nice wave, the third shot it closed out, but the short burst looked really fun. Image 2 of 2 shot sequence. Photos by Oldwaverider

It was an awesome session late today!   Started out rib to occasional chest high at the Cape, beautiful sets,  nice drops with a few turns and a quick exit.  I just watched and shot some images.

Ron I believe. Perfect form and smooth style for the "out of towner", just kidding. Image 1 of 5 in sequence.

Then Chad and I headed down South for an 11 AM sesh, and for the first half hour it was like 1 in 15 waves were makeable at best, but nice head high faces on the drop with a quick closeout, and then it changed.  It started to hold up a little better, maybe 1 in 8 would hold up,  and then we got some of those 70 to 100 yard shoulders pumping most and some times all the way to the beach.  Almost all lefts.  A few select rights.  Brother Chad nailed at least 2 or 3 of em in the 100 yard plus range, with one solid, did I say solid?; 150 yard right from far outside, all the way to 1 foot deep water, and used that as his bus ride in 🙂  He smoked it.   I got the perfect left (except for a small epileptic surge on a few re-entries)  to take me most of the way in 🙂  A bunch of rail-grabbing left take-offs for chasing speed up high on the wave.

Most of the outside sets were shoulder high, and maybe a head high set rolled thru every now and then.  See new chart, compliments of thewavecaster.com here.

Surf Thursday is looking to be maybe thigh at the Cape and waist in Satellite.  Strong strong offshore winds.  They may even blow it flat tonight, but I suspect there may be a trickle for 2 hours in the morning and then done…………………

He tried his best. This was one of 3 guys I met on the boardwalk. They are doing the Engineer program from UCF. Trying to forget Differential Equations :) They were surfing North of Chad and I during their first session. Image 3 of 3

Sunny Photo Gallery from May 14 2011 ground swell, Wednesday morning Surf Report update 9:30 AM January 25 2012, Surf Forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach (posted January 25, 2012)

Incoming NE ‘ster windswell for maybe Monday thru Wednesday…I’ll get into that in a minute;

The photos here of Sunny were from a May 14 2011 ground swell that kicked up waist to shoulder high waves, perfect glass and barrels.  These three shots were taken by Chad , and of Sunny on a nice left.

Sunny. Image 2 of 3 shot sequence.

As far as incoming swell, other than the 2 foot fairly consistent knee to thigh high stuff we have had for the last week, we do have a Nor’easter that is predicted to blow from land to sea at a NW angle,  so it looks like it will give us a steep NE windswell for perhaps Monday thru Wednesday. 

Sunny, image 3 of 3.

There could be some head high faces, but mostly onshore winds, and by Tuesday afternoon, the models show the swell coming in more East than North which could allow some of this baby to hit the Cape, instead of letting Satellite Beach hog the whole show 🙂

As it progresses, we’ll let ya know.

Enjoy this awesome weather that the last two winters denied us.  Oh,  the water temp is the same at the Trident pier which hugs close to the barrier islands  just west of  the one mile buoy both showing showing 69 ° which you gotta love.

It’s hump day Wednesday, enjoy the remainder of your week and the weekend 🙂  A week from Friday is the Cape’s Friday Fest, so don’t forget about that street party!

The photos are of Sunny taken by Chad , I think.

This was Saturday morning May 14, 2011 in South Cocoa Beach.

Chad, Sunny, Jim  and Sunny Dave caught a great sesh from a 3 or 4 day swell, nice glassy, yeah some closeouts, but definitely some great waves.

A 3 shot sequence of Sunny, followed by a couple of miscellaneous waves.

By the way, Sunny does do rights also 🙂

Oh, guess we don’t want to leave out the incoming Memorial Day weekend wind swell for Sunday thru maybe Wednesday.

Hey, we’re not even supposed to have waves this time of year, so get pumped that we’re at least getting some wind chop waves.

Maybe, we’ll see some shoulder high sets down south, but I figure we ought to see a day or two of waist high plus at the Cape since the wind swell is direct east.

Right now, I’m not seeing a window of off shore winds, but when we get to that 3 hour window, we’ll let ya know.

Enjoy the pics, and the waves late Sunday afternoon over Memorial Day weekend.
