Slight side shore to offshore
Short period, waist to chest 

KC Filer


KC Filer Makes A Splash:  Got to Assateague Island (federal park - north parking lot) at about 0820. There was a light sideshorebreeze that tended to be slight offshore.  The waves waist to chest on the outer sandbars, but fairly short period.
That made getting outside quite a bit harder than it looked - it seemed like there was one wave after the next, and every so ofter one came through with some surprising punch. Btw, I was in a 3/2 with boots but no gloves and no hood and I was comfortable.

As for me, I am ashamed to report that I saw rideable waves, but I couldn't seem to get hooked up.  I got some pitiful knee rides on reform on the inside. Some guys arrived around 1000 with fun shapes and I saw them catch a few.  They also worked hard to get outside. I headed home after a couple hours.
