    April 22nd onward for a few days

    Long duration onshore flow with a wide variety of local wind combinations over the next 72 hours will likely lead to some good sessions. It will be good to see the seas off the east coast rise to near 20 feet!

    Holy shit the north shore was fun today. Had to find the right facing beach but it was head+ and beautifully clean drops. 10 or so out where I was, everyone was stoked and hollering. Walked into an exam still dripping wet and smelling like piss, now I'm thinking about going back, but I'm exhausted.

    Pretty fun last night at a Boston-area spot - faded a bit at the same spot this morning, but a couple nuggets left as the tide went out. It looked there might be something left for the tide switch if the wind doesn't get on it too much.
    Run run river,
    carry me,
    to the ocean,
    carry me away...

    Fast and peaky in OQT this morning before incoming tide made the river no fun to cross. Went down to short sands. Smaller but pretty clean. Still head high peaks here and there. Tricky drops with a LB. Long sands blew mush all day.

    I'll give this swell a 6 out of 10 (6.5 if it lingers into tomorrow). The south winds threw a wrench into it when the swell peaked, and the good spots that thrive on big waves just never got going. It was fun today on the clean-up, but it felt like a lot of wind swell, and no ground swell despite what the buoys reported. It did however feel great to get in a long session today with sunny skies.

    I saw a guy surfing a Bic with the leash tied around his waist (no joke). I could only guess (hope) that the ankle strap was broken.

    btw, I bumped the swell up to 6.5, it was fun this morning, and perfect conditions.
