I'm a old surf dog from VA. Many trips down to outer Banks early 70s always find good empty waves. Enjoy it!

HEAVY

swish007 - 6 years ago

the waves can get really aggressive and squirrely on the obx. i kayak out there a bit and it's often a great place for that because in most spots you won't see HUGE waves. (i'm no expert.. i'm sure lots of hc kayakers would love to get out there on 10ft waves). but there's lots of shifting sand and it's rare for me to get those nice decent waves that let you surf a good distance. i still love it though

John Ellsmar - 6 years ago

I've noticed no one ever rounds down when they're estimating wave size...they always round up.

Steve Covaleski - 6 years ago

headed down there tomorrow in the a.m. from bucks county PA. these dudes are master shredders. not supposed to be that big next week, but it's all about the journey man!!! And spearfishing bull sharks doesn't hurt either...

Idk what freaks me out more.....macking pipe or nuking hatteras. My only experience is with the latter and the island lives up to its name; "the graveyard of the Atlantic".

The waves in North Carolina can disapper in an instant. I remember a few times watching sets roll though while prepping on the beach. Ducking nice ones on the paddle outside and then not having a single ridable wave come through once we got to the line-up. They quite literally vanished. Happened a few times while I was in Onslow County going to Top Sail, Emerald Isle, Surf City pier, Onslow Beach. But when it's on....great waves!

ncsam 000000 - 6 years ago

samuel ferrell lol what?

samuel ferrell - 7 years ago

That's because you were surfing Onslow bay , the outer banks are a different story there on the edge of the ocean with waves coming out of deep water onto shore , where as the bay is a 50 60 mile slop upward causing the swell to slow down

Sand Rails - 8 years ago

10 Ft??? Looks like 3-5 foot to me....

Anthony Brown - 5 years ago

you smoke crack

Austinbrensurf - 5 years ago

Sand Rails yea in the outer banks, if its 4 to 6 ft its really 6 to 8 just double the height.

odurandina - 6 years ago

it's 4-6'..........

ncsam 000000 - 6 years ago

Steve Covaleski that's the absolute dumbest shit I've ever heard

Steve Covaleski - 6 years ago

Youre fucking retarded

andrew karr - 7 years ago

Well first of all, they are measuring from the face, and I would say that the waves they are surfing are in the 5-7 foot face range. But according to the raw swell numbers this day, there was certainly potential for 10 foot+ waves to be breaking on the outer banks! The outer banks have a network of outer bars that start showing once the swell gets above 4-6 feet, and only break stronger and further out as swell size increases. This day was certainly a "10 foot swell", and there were 10 foot waves breaking on the outer shoals no doubt. And on really big days, they will sometimes take the ski out and surf big, ocean beach style peaks out there! But on days in this, the grinding lefts on the beach break are the call!

Wake-n-bake Yourmaboy - 7 years ago

it depends if you measure the wave from the back or the front. either way its not fuckn 3 foot. thats 5-6ft back of the wave or sure

kinklecankles - 7 years ago

+Anthony Windle a ten foot barrell is not a ten foot wave, in order to produce a ten foot barrell the breaking face of the wave must be significantly larger than 10 feet, if you look at the guy at 4:05 who is crouched, the ridable surface of the wave is about twice his height, which means it would have to be close to 10ft.

Anthony Windle - 7 years ago

+kinklecankles they are crouching. In a 10 foot barrell you would be standing straight up with your hands above your head.

kinklecankles - 7 years ago

+Anthony Windle question: if the average man is 5ft 10 to 6ft tall and he is inside the barrel of a wave and the wave is well overhead, how can it only be 5ft?

Anthony Windle - 7 years ago

+kinklecankles just watched the whole video again. so maybe one of those waves were big, the majority of those waves were less than 5 ft.

kinklecankles - 7 years ago

+Sand Rails son are you saying those guys are 2 and a half feet tall or are you saying you are too fucking dumb too understand basic math...

Kapahi 746 - 8 years ago

+TheBetterAar0n I'm from Hawaii so 10ft face=5ft but yeah I guess there was a couple big ones that day

TheBetterAar0n - 8 years ago

+Devon Sweeney http://puu.sh/odKbO/8fe0ea8079.png Not all the waves surfed here are consistently 10ft but the main point was that they were big

The struggle is real!

shamos999 - 8 years ago

I have lived on the OBX my whole life. In the winter it is a very consistent, but tricky place to surf. Especially down south from Rodanthe to Frisco. We get these prevailing N/NE trends in the fall/winter, that end up with an least 1-2 days of offshore (W/SW or N/NE for Frisco area) winds at the end of the interval. Will usually end up over 8 feet, dirty water, mostly lefts, and no real apparent line up. I think this is what makes it the so hard to surf. Just waves breaking within a certain range all over the entire beach. Usually accompanied by a bit of south pulling drift... You guys got some good rides for the conditions, and I see you know Brett. Easily in the top 5 best surfers in NC, hands down.
