  • You're a fast learner. There is no best time! Can be fun surf any time following a weather event. Hurricanes and northeasters are best. Fronts moving thru spring and fall can produce one day or even only a few hrs of waves. One of those places you have to be there and ready. A little farther travel up to Wilmington area is much more apt to have really good surf in situations as above, but more predictable and always bigger and better. Plug into Magicseaweed.com. Has been really accurate this yr

  • Hey Suzy, welcome to the surfing lifestyle. One truly worth living! I spent most of my life in NMB, but now a Ga. mountain inhabitant. The spirit lives on, no matter where you live. Once a surfer, always a surfer!

  • Welcome to the group. Beginners are always welcome on the trips I organize. Safety first. If it's too big, you don't paddle out. It's fun anyways. I sent you an email on the trip details. Hope you can make it.
