So, the uber hot temps that have been plaguing the middle and south of the US are now in the northeast. We avoided the 90s most of this summer. Not this week. It’s been scorching last few days. I cut short my beach camping trip down south of Cape Cod because it was just too hot (including the ocean water) AND for the lack of surfing waves.
Glad I came back home. This morning got some nice 3’ foot swells (Idalia remnants) and offshore winds that cleaned and stacked the wavefaces. The water was also a refreshing 68 degrees (as opposed to 70 plus south of Cape). Nice day for those of us still on vacation.
Wish that were the case here. Still 90 plus and humid here. Worse, only little 1’ bumps in the local breaks. Not worth breaking a sweat to load the kayak. Staying home. Have a lot of video footage of small surf from the past couple of weeks to review and edit. Maybe…
That incoming thunderstorm hit as I was headed home. Amazing downpour for about an hour! Glad I got some practice time in. Hope to get another in before Hurricane Lee swells arrive at the end of this week.
