NJ Surfing (and Long Beach)

Mahwah, NJ: Sunny, breezy and 68 degrees 
 Wildwood, NJ: Sunny, breezy and 64 degrees
Ocean City, NJ: Sunny, breezy and 62 degrees
Long Beach, NY:  Sunny, breezy and 51 degrees

       Unfortunately, most of us are stuck in classrooms and offices on this unusually beautiful March day.  If feels more like April or May.  Thankfully though, for you surfers out there, you aren't missing much on the waves.  In Wildwood and Ocean City, the southern half of New Jersey is experiencing a mere knee height waves at the moment.  Not much aof a difference as you drive up the coast to the northern half.  In the wee hours of tomorrow morning, however, swells could hit 7 feet! If you are up for some night/early morning surfing, the winter blues can be lifted.  In Long Beach, NY peak wave height climbs as high as 8.2 ft.  Grab your fishtail board, your hooded wetsuits, and a flashlight because this will be the highest swells this week, surf is headed down hill for the weekend.  Surf season is fast approaching!

p.s. Here's a pick-you-up: the waves in Malibu are only 2-3 feet and staying that way all week. Go Jersey!
