sorry for the drama...i did not want to be a part of anyone getting injured today..

there was surf and there were some people out the first half of the day..

these kind of conditions are NOT for novices...there were some very experianced surfers out..and some novice...again..hope no one was ticked with my report..but i really did not want to influence any decisions to take big chances in the water today..it was and will be again tomorrow very ruff conditions...at least until very late in the day on thursday..

PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND MAKE GOOD SAFE JUDGEMENT CALLS..

10:30 a.m.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO >NOT< CONSIDER SURFING TODAY

WE HAVE STORM CONDITIONS>>> DONT THINK YOU ARE "COOL" CAUSE YOU PADDLED OUT IN THE HURRICANE SURF...

IT AIN'T COOL IF YOU DROWN.
THE SURF IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TODAY WITH RIPS/CURRENTS THAT CAN SWEEP YOU AWAY...NOT TO MENTION THUNDER AND LIGHTENING..
DO NOT GO OUT UNLESS YOU EXPECT >NOT< TO COME BACK IN ALIVE.
