 4-5 feet with light offshore winds at 12 mph

Dig your board out of the snow and hit the beach... might be good!

Wait a minute Creek, 12mph ain't light.  You add incoming wave speed and that's near 20 up the face.  I went out in around 10 mph yesterday and got hammered with the wind.  Surf was fairly good sized as well.  Finally gave up trying to stand paddle the drop in.  Proned into the waves with paddle hanging from the loop sewn onto my shorts, got to my feet and pulled the blade out like I was a stand up paddler.  Funny stuff but it worked for a few long rides until wind jacked up even too much for that.

But man then you add that snow element to the already adverse wind deal and the crazy factor gets pegged.  Can't beat the crowds tho.

Surfed the last deep freeze New Year's .....initially it took over an hour to get the blood out to my numb hands and feet but once I warmed up it was fine!

Had Icicles hanging off my beard and the brim on my hood it was Awesome!!

One of those Cape Cod days, when conditions are elusive.... at least now, we can cam watch instead of driving willy nilly to all the breaks, looking for the magic.

Gonna go now and see... looks like it has potential
