2011 ESA Regionals




       We couldn't have asked for better weather. The surf was size-able and confused(as usual) which gave the SNE locals a bit of an advantage over the out of towners. You had to stay on your toes and keep your eyes on the horizon constantly searching for a head high right hander to roll through the corner at Second Beach. Advancing heats required 2 good wave scores which was not an easy task as the sets coming into the beach were 4-5 closeouts in a row with maybe 1 or 2 waves lining up amidst the chaotic churning of the southern New England waters.

    I can honestly say that it was the first taste of summer for all of us Saturday morning. Temperatures hovered around the upper 50's to lower 60's early on. The surf was waist-stomach + clean and had a little kick to it...still lacking a bit of power...would have loved some 3ft @ 14 seconds! Haven't seen that in a while. Much thanks to Moondoggiesurfer.com for complimentary downloads! More event photos here
Next ESA event is in June. Pray for surf! ....far overdue for a venture over the bridge to the outer Cape.
