Surfing

Post Reply New Topic

One of my passions is surfing. I live in FL, therefore we don't get many swells during the summer unless there is a hurricane off the coast. It seems like everyday I check the swell forecast hahah. I just got a new board and I want to try it out soo bad. Does anyone else surf?

aww man, i wanna surf so bad now but ma stuck in ottawa ontario canada no waves n ocean there when i go up to cali i surf being doin it since 7 or 8 but only like when i go up to cali which is 0 times to twice a year. i am not that good but it is fun girls on the beacxh some times cheer me on cuz i am unquie ways of doing tricks and riding waves i am so orginal when it ocmes ot odin things girls get impressed.

Nice dude what part of Cali do you surf? I know Northern can get pretty cold.

the santa barbara suberbs a place called carpentura right on the beach of suberban santa barabra man ya heard of the area dude?

i try to surf. bit of a kook

surf mainly in queensland, australia, try to get down to nsw every now and then... went to margaret river earlier in the year. pretty mental reefs over there

Nice how big are the on avg in July/August. In FL there are no waves in July/ August unless a hurricane is off the atlantic coast. Your not a kook man everyone has to start out. Just respect the locals.

it really depends hey. 2007 was the best winter in at least 30 years. 2008 was one of the longest flat spells i've ever experienced.... although i got one of those 'days of the year' early on in the season (clean 6ft). winds are usually much more favourable during winter (offshore all day is possible). a lot of people head to bali during winter as it is their season there, and much more consistent (and tropically warm... and close for aussies)

the most consistent season is typically autumn... summer can also produce the goods if you get a cyclone off the coast... cyclones near fiji tend to send out long period groundswell.

but yeh, from what i've heard the east coast would be more consistent than FL... especially south of byron bay as you are then able to access southern ocean groundswell goodness.
