Can you surf anywhere on the east coast? |
I live in NY and I want to try surfing. I've never surfed before but I love the ocean, I've gone boogy boarding many times and love it but it just isn't as big of a rush anymore (compared to when I was a kid). So anyway, I've been to several different beaches in the US...from Wildwood/Cape May, Myrtle Beach, and Cocoa Beach on the east coast to beaches in the San Diego/La Jolla area in Cali. And the first time I went to Cali I thought that a hurricane was coming, the waves were so strong. But that's apparently just how the ocean is on the west coast. So I was wondering, is there anywhere on the east coast where the waves are strong enough for surfing in the summer? Or is surfing a west coast only sport? Yes there's surfing all up and down the east coast. The waves aren't generally as big or as clean as west coast waves, but they're definitely surfable. I ride a 9'4" longboard. Learned in SanDiego and I ride it just about every weekend in central east coast. Maryland, Deleware, VA Beach. I've surfed in the Carolinas once or twice, but haven't gone north because the water's just too cold for me. Supposed to be some excellent surfing in Jersey though. I've talked to a couple people who surfed off the coast of Maine, so if there's an ocean (or even a big lake) there's surf on it somewhere. As they say, the stoke is where you take it. If you want to surf badly enough, you'll find a place to do it, even if it's 10 inch high white water. Here's a website with lots more info. Source(s): http://www.eastcoastsurfing.com/... Yeahhh theres places. Sebastians Inlet, Florida goes off pretty good. Theres not too many places here on the East Coast that go off like places like Tressels and other west coast sports People do try to surf on the east coast, but you won't find the same waves as California.........If you really want to surt the east coast, your best bet is to get a long board for sure and surf the mush I guess. i live in southern florida and it is pretty much the only place on the east coast.... not summer though.... winter fall spring we get noth swells that sometimes can be epic....\ o and cudos to rk i surf sebastion inlet everyday haha...live 10 miles up shore WAVES ARE BETTER IN JERSEY THAN THEY ARE IN FLORIDA, OR CALIFORNIA, unless your at the wedge in Newport/HUNTINGTON BEACH. just bus it to jersey and surf,your bound to find some wasves at this time of year. Your just north of jersey anyway. If you dont beleive me go to surfline.com. Some of the top surfers in the US come out of Jersey. yeah I have seen Jersey get some crazy waves, the carolinas dont get anything |
