Earl in Ocean Isle

The surf city crew and I made the pre-dawn trek to OIB on 9/2 and found easy 6 to 8 foot clean faces with drifty conditions.  The swell kept building as the morning went on but after 12 it hit hyperdive and by high tide became a little too sketchy for anyone.  Blair, Lance, I, and one other guy were the only guys out and after 2 or 3 waves had drifted about a mile down the beach.  It was a long walk with longboard in the wind.  The last 2 pics are from Sunset later in the day.  Earl was exactly as forcasted, I have 2 halves of a longboard to show.

Hello Earl

So we awoke to extreme flatness this morning but as you can see by 9:30am we already begun to see chest high sets.  The tide and wind weren't exactly cooperating with each other and finding a shoulder was hard as the morning went on.  Should be up again tomorrow or further north.
