Waves Down South!
Yesterday, we were served a "winter-time" warm windy day on the OBX! The morning began with air temps in the mid-60s and strong SW winds. By mid-morning, the winds began to shift west to northwest as the front slid offshore. Skies cleared as the air temps fell; however, with water temps in the low 60s, it felt great in the ocean! Winds were strongest north, but waves were biggest south. I was off the clock for a solo Boiler session by 1:30pm; however the ocean was near completely flat. I did not photograph it, but if you have ever been to the Canadian Hole in Avon, that was about what the ocean looked like. I was quite surprised and bummed when I saw the photos from the south side. I sailed the wind (well powered 4.7m), but definitely missed the surf action! Should have keep driving south...errah!
