Seen some monsters rolling through the Hood lately. The Wall, and Swell City to the Hatch.

Give it up y'all. Where have you seen the meaty ones... I'm talking rolling breakers begging for fins and bottom turns.

rufus-wall has had some worthy breaking swells at certain times over the last two weekends. riding and carving big swells doesn't excite me as much as it did a couple years ago though. just can't compare to real waves, even the smallest ones. better than everything else though.

We were out at Threemile last weekend and the swell was great. Giant haystacks rolling through with big glassy faces. You can't beat Threemile on a big day.

I have actually heard through a grapevine of this wave/waves....
-not sure though....haven't crossed paths myself.. Anyone??

I had some good swell on a downy a few weeks back from Viento to HR... Thumb's Up I was just bummed I was riding a twin-tip.....my back leg was raw! My surf is all set-up now!

Yeah enjoyed the Viento to sandbar downwinder. Surfboard thru the swells at swell city was very fun!

3 mile can go off. Been sailing there since late 80's. Can't wait to get it on a kite.

Launch is not going to be to friendly.

Rumor has it that in Boardman there is a sandy beach. Cool
