Vacationing and Danger
Sat Sep 10, 2005 | 1:22 PM
Location: C Street
Size: Way Overhead; Choppy
Wind: NNE @ 15-30 mph
High Tide: 12:43 PM / Low Tide: 7:00 PM
Water Temp: 80 (F)
Notes:
Lunchtime Update: Really big out there. Probably the biggest it has been in the last 6 months or so. Sets are way overhead but the drift and current are crazy. South facing beaches are the best bet during this swell. Be careful out there. I would recommend that all surfers that haven't been surfing at least 3-5 years don't even risk going out to get beat up. You will most likely hurt yourself or someone else in surf like this..
--------------
So, the idea is to go to the most likely place for a hurricane during the most probably time. That would be the Outer banks or OBX in the middle of September.
Being from the Great Lakes (and being somewhat wave starved), it sounded good to be.
So, I may meet Ophelia, head on.
I probably won't venture into hurricane surf.....I wish I'd planned things differently. :(
