This past weekend I took a trip up to NY for my friend’s engagement party. The whole weekend I was eyeing the forecast, as it looked like Friday could have some good waves. Forecast went from 6 foot to 2 foot to 6 foot and back to 2 foot by Thursday night. The first wave check did not look promising. After a chilly boat ride, we pulled up to 1-2 foot mushburgers. We decided to go check out another spot by car. Pulled up to some bigger mushburgers with about 20 guys out. Not exactly what we were looking for. Usually the waves along this stretch are all the same, but we took a ride and checked about a mile down the beach. We found waist to head high drainers peeling down the beach. Nobody out, no drift. After 1 broken board, a couple miles of walking, and 5 hours of empty waves, we went home smiling. Nothing better than good waves that are unexpected.
