I can't make it tOmorrow =( have fun!

I'm starting to consider all the Holiday and shopping traffic going on Fri... :-(

I will be there ......... Friday around noon .....

You guys must be having a blast, it is sunny and 64 down here...like September! (but still too wet!)

Yup, Sunny, 64, and a holiday weekend....which bought out so many fisherman there was no hardpack to ride Never saw it so crowded.
And rocfighter screwed up the wind forecast. 5-10mph wasn't quite enough Dave. Please go return that new Rev so we get our wind back ;-)

Well that is dissapointing. MikeDobbs and myself are planning on a trip up to Atlantic beach(long beach, NY) on Sunday. Anyone wants to join us?
Winds are forecasted to be at 14mph dead onshore. Low tide at 3:30pm.
I will be arriving Around noon.

For the address see the mikedobbs invitational posts.

Hope to see a few of you there!

Fisherman pole forest ...... thats how beach look like today ...... If anyone plans to go tomorrow ..... is a big NO .......
.........also ...... off shore wind is NOT kiteable at all on this beach ........ dunes are too high and create big win shadow .......
My opinion ...... If there is no East wind covering area ..... there is no reason to go ...........

Rich Zintner, his Girlfriend, my Brother and I went on Saturday. The wind was not great but good. We got there just in time for low tide in the afternoon.

However...I have never seen so many surf fisherman on a beach in my life! Damm fisherman, they get in the way of two of my favorite things; Kite Bugging and White Water Kayaking. We then moved up to the beach to Seaside Heights and got a little flying in there.

Wildwood would have been another hour to drive but I think I'll drive that extra hour next time.

Anyone want to go to Wildwood or Long Island, NY latter in December?

We've been going to long Island every weekend with MikeDobbs for the past 3 weeks. We are yet to have a "bad" session. With SSW/S/SSE Winds you cant go wrong.

This week low tide will be at 8:30-9:00 am. so it may not be ideal. Next week however we may be talking 2:00-3:00PM low tides. If winds are good I will be there.
Wildwood has enough hard packed that you don't need to wait for low tide. If winds are SES/SE/SEE I am game any weekend day.

Was actually looking at this coming Sunday (04 December) and thinking that might be fun. Too bad about the early low tides. Wind direction is right though. Not sure I want to make a day trip of it though... Long ways to go for a day trip... That and I've got some painting projects for this weekend. We shall have to see what the 10th & 11th look like. I could be tempted to head towards Wildwood if the winds are good...

Getting ready for the holidays and working on my house. However... the 10th or 11th at Wildwood sounds like a good possibility to me. I won't be able to make it for both days.

I could be up for any weekend at WW...would still consider a driver further North.

NNW winds any good at Wildood?

Forecast says 14mph winds, Low tide at 1:30PM on Saturday.

With all the rain, there may be a fair amount of hard packed.

Its rideable, but side-off shore. Not the greatest direction, but rideable... More west would be better for off-shore...

I am off the wknd of the 17/18th. Pray for good winds...

Got me:
- a fresh (used) FB quiver,
- new (used) Bigfoot buggy,
- and LOTS of (new...and Goodwill) thermals!

..........ready whenever you guys are! :karate:

About the wind... it's a bit early to trust predictions for Saturday. If we'll see NW wind above 10 mph I'll be considering a trip to WW.
Martin, on what site are you reading these predictions? Some sites are overestimating the wind speed.

jeesh, today's WW forcast:
"Partly cloudy skies. High 43F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph. " :bird:

Thats a decent wind direction for off-shore. Could be a lot of fun. Tides are shifting the right times. Could be a good weekend. Will be a little bumpy though. Not sure what my plans are for this weekend, but heading up for one-day's riding seems a bit much... (Sunday predictions do not look too hot).

Keep us posted. I would definitely be game this weekend.

Unfortunately, the wife is begging me to not go. Her argument is that I have an open sore on my left eyelid from where the doctor removed a skin flap. I think it is healed enough that I would be fine... but she is begging me to not go. So... Since today is her birthday... I'm going to have to concede this one to her.

I'll be checking the winds again at Wildwood in two weeks. I hope someone can get out and ride.

Tell her I could lend you my googles

Wind still gets through the sides of goggles and irritates the eyes. I have three or four sets of goggles... she wouldn't let that go either... I tried though...

there's still a lot of possibilities...:wink2:

you make funny...


The wife begged me to not go. I agreed (this time).
I might try to convince her to let me go to The Bowl tomorrow afternoon, but I'm not convinced the wind direction is ideal. Might give it a shot anyways... We'll see...

Wildwood in 2 weeks? Maybe.

Keep me posted on the bowl...here's hoping there's no discarded syringes left there to puncture my Bigfoots! :sniff:

Wildwood forecast: Mon, Dec 26:

Day: Sunny and windy. Highs in the upper 40s. Northwest winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph.
Wildwood Crest low tide 2:40pm

Sounds very interesting... Lad, thinking about going?

Anyone else? Ive been hoping for a wildwood session since WBB so i may go.

I'm thinking of it...tho it will be a long 3 hr. drive for me in my shaky Mitsubishi (aka "The Pinata")

So lad are you in? For me its like a 2.5 hour drive and I'd consider it if more people come.

Anyone else available tomorrow? Winds are supposed to be about 19mph throughout the day.
