1. BS. The inside right bowl on Moody Point. Even JLand can make something of that. Not to mention two island breaks just outside of The dolphin headlands. Oh, and don't forget the ledge south of goosefare. And we are only talking a short portion of that mass to Portland claim. Clearly you have a lot to learn before losing that garbage man title. Maybe the only game along your collection route.
2. So, like chest high waves?
11 days to go in my cast, and I become a better, nicer human being. Until then it is beat up on the JONG. And yes, Alev, you are correct.

Key words=pretty much. With the seemingly endless breaks from Mass to Portland, there are only a handful that work well with SE winds that also benefit from almost a straight east swell angle.
NOOB tip: Anything north of Moody may as well be Portland. IMNOOBO.
Most waves today were above chest. Head plus on set drops with walls at chest to shoulder, some head.

made it out to SS for a quick piss n paddle. Shoulder, head high quick drops with more texture than I preferred. time change killing my surf schedule. I'm sure there was some surfing on cape ann, but not much between cape ann and SS. sure some of ott's secret spots were solid ass well.

Tide was too low for SS to be good when you went. Gets really mixed/crossed up at lower tides. I should've recommended not going there when you got out of work. I was there from just after dead high to about 2 hours after high today. Wind had a bit more east in it as the day went on as well. A friend went to SS about 130 and said he missed the tide window so he drove north a bit and caught good size but not great conditions. Tomorrow looking fun with straight offshore winds. Will be at the beach between 845-1030am then again after 1pm if the wind hasn't knocked it down too much.

No I know that SS doesn't do well with low outgoing tides like that, but that was the only window I had to go, and its the closest place to me. I wanted to maximize the surfing time in the water and minimize the drive time. Hard when I can't get out of work till 3 most days.

I hear ya. I wasn't thinking you'd drive all the way from Mass (Mass right?) to hit SS with such limited window of daylite (dedication!) which is why I didn't speak up. I only went to SS today because it's just 1 mile from my driveway haha.

Copy that. Well I've got an older black subaru outback, mass plates, alta sticker. If its mid week surf, I'm usually at LS or SS. I'm still only a couple months into a new job, so getting out first light and making it to work by 750 hasn't been too easy the last few weeks.

Ford wagon with Maine plates. Bike rack on back window and no stickers. My work schedule gives me 4+ hours off daily from 830/9am to 1pm off Monday thru Friday with weekends off unless I want to pick up a weekend shift. No dawn patrols or late day sessions till spring. We'll hook up.

It can be a gem as you know. Just don't tell anyone lol. Enjoy the morning. Working at 750 you should be able to surf from 6-7 and grab a coffee on your way to work. Free coffee at Anthony's on Fridays if you have a free Anthony's card. Plus free large pizza on your birthday and credits every time you buy anything that Anthony's makes. You heard it here first!

Awesome report back after your sesh please. Buoy holding steady at around 5' @ 11 seconds at 105. If that holds it should be chest plus and squeaky clean by the restaurant. When you go into Anthony's just ask one of the register folk to sign you up for the card. It's quick. Enjoy!

Um, dude, your the only one telling.
Those 4 degree air temps are pretty much the only thing I really wanted to not experience again. Easier ways to surf solo. Pretty much not interested when the air gets much below 40. And about 46 water is my stopping point. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad I experienced some cold surf. Keeps the stuff around here feeling plenty comfortable. Just never warms up.
I think my coldest day also had off shore winds. Strong. Consistent 15mph. Air was 15F and the water 40F. Jumped off a Jetty to get to the outside. You really could not duck dive. This was in '92 or so and I likely was wearing my shorty underneath an old hooded 5mm. Barely could paddle that thing.

I figured since I live close to the beach I could provide some pics to help keep the EC stoke alive and well.
Here's another one from this morning. Crazy how clear and sunny it was at times and then the whole sky would change in minutes. This pic was taken just over an hour from the clear sunny pic I posted earlier. Way smaller than the last two days, but no less fun. These little buggers were running.
