East Coast this weekend was truly awesome. Low tide was unfavourably early but my mate and me had one of the points to ourselves for a few hours. 8-10 ft beasts rolling in :jaw:and a backdrop of snow covered fields made for a great mornings surf, if a little terrifying. The afternoon was a slightly more friendly 3-5ft at south bay.
Surfed El Faro today, in Nayrit (Saluilita).5ft long rt hand point break, the first right hander of the trip.been surfing The Ranch also with totall Legends, any one heard of Corky? me neither, the septics worship him.... also The Tank, all loggers...

the swell window is so narrow that it is often weeks months between decent swells.Just goes to show that we do get decent surf though eh?
What these pictures don't really show is just how fast, violent, noisy and overwhelming it can be when out in heavy conditions.
