Back at School

Finally made it back down to S.C.  There was supposed to be a 4-5 ft swell today in Myrtle. However due to bad timing, a late night, and a late breakfast I didn't get anything great. I got to 62nd north around 1:00 pm. Low tide was at ~2:30. The waves were pretty good when I first showed up, managed to find some fast right breaks from the get-go. There were 3 other people in the water, they seemed good from the distance I was at. One of the guys managed to pop some decent air as I approached the waters edge. 

 
The photo doesn't do it much justice (taken at dead low), but the waves were manageable, clean and fun. There were a few big rogues but they were all close-outs and not worth the while. I stuck around till 4 or so, my body was crippled by dehydration at this point. 

Nothing like some Sweet Tea from Wendys after a good paddle.

This week looks like it will be a good one for this area. Once everyone gets back down here we will get the whole surf posse back out together.
