Watching the storm track across the Caribbean while keeping an eye on our local wind forecasts, I thought the day to score was Sunday.  I was 95% wrong.  

Saturday evening I was vexing at work watching the cam all night long.  The swell was filling in nicely although slightly walled.  But we hadn't had waves like this in a long ass time.  So the light winds made for pristine conditions in my eyes. Myself and a few others were barred at work.

But I kept saying to myself Sunday is the day.  I was selling myself a dream because the damn wind forecast Saturday night had the winds cranking out of the NE/E all day long.  Great.

I took pictures Sunday morning anyway.  Took a few at the pier till the lifeguards (it was actually only one of them) took their (his) ego out on everyone and a few at the Washout.  It sucked everywhere.  Wind was on it early and tide was dead low.  I basically wrote the day off at 2pm.  Leaving the beach I was pissed off.  Not only for missing Saturday but for also how shi...y this season has been.  All that was going through my mind was, "This was the last one and I missed it."



Turns out Sunday wasn't a full disappointment.  I kept watching the cam all afternoon waiting for the incoming tide and sure enough right around 6 I said screw it I'm going out there.  When I arrived, winds were light and the swell was lined up, running about chest high on the sets.  

Ended up having a ton of fun with not too many people out all the way till dark.  Didn't take pictures that evening.  Had to make up for earlier that day.

Here are a few from this Sunday AM.

Oh and btw.  Today sucks too.  Maybe this afternoon again?  Prob not.  Thanks Folly.





Just said to myself, "Wow."  Those are the only acceptable pictures I'm putting up.  Even looking back on Sunday through pictures pisses me off.  What a crappy day.  Don't ever get your hopes.  9.9 times out of 10 Folly will disappoint.
