are these waves surfable? how often does this happen? I think it would be bad-ass to surf lake erie with 15 foot faces. What are the chances of this size waves coming around during warm months? I might have to bring up my JC board sometime… ---

i was down a Hoch’s around 8:30pm and i must say i was totally disappointed. water level was high, but i think early this year in spring we had a storm that had waves so big they were crashing over the wall and onto Rt. 5. last night wasn’t nearly impressive. ---

Anyone go down in the middle of the night? I bet it was quite a show judging by how bad the winds were after about 10pm. ---

What are the chances of this size waves coming around during warm months? I might have to bring up my JC board sometime… . probably not. They are probably the sloppiest waves possible with winds like that. When trade winds picked up a bit when I was in Hawaii it made conditions pretty shitty. And i’m talking about winds that weren’t as bad as that last night.
