Some super fun chest-high waves on Halloween.  mid 80s air, low 80s water.  Can't beat that!
Here are some shots of the hot action.

Look for the swell to hold Sunday.  Even light offshroe in the early morning.  New sunrise time 6:30am!  It'll fade a bit. Waist-chest.  bigger upcoast. and even more Monday but still remain rideable, still bigger upcoast on Monday.  Should be something all week really.  Low south of bermuda.  Not in Palm Beaches swell window but upcoast should get some.









(Mendia and his crew were out there....look at me doing a lipper over Mendia's head!  LOL)




(It did get a little crowded at one point...Darryl, Bobby, and 'ol Pete "sharing")


(Bobby getting dropped off in the bait swarm...check out the bottom of the pic!)


(Bait Wave!)


(Mendia avoiding the bait.)


(Mendia getting closer to the bait fish, and the preditors chasing them!)


(Bait close up.  Feeding frenzy!  Saw sharks, tarpon and anything else that was hungry out there!)






(I caught a couple good ones!)






(sponger gettign slotted!)






(me trying a different way of surfing...)
