Sands still breaking... - Hey everyone. Happy Turkey day! Anyway, last weekend my family and I were taking X-mas card pics at the beach and my bro and I still saw Sands breaking...not as far out though as Ernesto. However, i vision maybe a nice sandbar for next summer...also because of winter and nice early winter waves. We'll see! Alright later guyz. Peace.-C Chach

Sands is STILL breaking!!! - Hey everyone...I just checked Sands after this Nor'Easter and it was still breaking...only about 10-15 yards left of beach. Also, the jetty to the right is fully underwater which is sick. The waves were about Chest to Head high and OH on set. Good lines and the barrels were wider than I've seen before and a lil' faster too. I hope this holds for the Summer...but prob not. Cross our fingers!!!
