Sunday September 28th L Jetty Avon



After a pass to the east by Hurricane Kyle as it made it's way quickly North, we awoke on Sunday morning to a foggy, glassy large ground swell. Early the Surf was still a bit unorganized with more close-outs than not. Several groups tried to hit it, but it didn't appear many waves were being ridden.

Afternoon found a lower tide and more organized cleaner conditions. It didn't take long for the masses to realize that locally Loch Arbour and the L Jetty would be the call.

At Shark River Inlet sets were breaking completely across the Inlet, making for some crazy boat action trying to get in and out. To the North at the L big peaks were breaking with bigger sets frequently catching everyone inside. A few brave souls actually paddled out the Inlet rather than risk the inside section.

Many great rides were had...... Tip O'Neill, Justin Brahn, Shaun McGrath and Terry Tagliarini were all getting some of the biggest ones

Brian Dalton and Mike Griggs showed up on a ski and got a few good tow-ins..... their first attempt ever! Brian got one of the mackers way outside and rode it for nearly two jetties!
