Mercer Pier, Wrightsville Beach, NC Sun 08AUG




Today was my first day of surfing the east coast, near North Carolina / Wilmington to be exact. After paying the stupid $2 an hour parking fee (active until 31OCT and ends 6pm nightly) I hit the beach. It was pretty crowded, sorta a mix between Pensacola and North Padre. Waves were pretty big but shrunk while I was there due to the incoming tide. I was down by marker 19 and the sand volleyball courts. There was really only one distance out the waves were breaking, and you could legitimately ride the board all the way to shore! Had to watch out for swimmers though. It was good getting back in the water too. I stayed until sunset, I wanna get out earlier tomorrow up near Surf City or Topsail island. I'm hoping for bigger waves and less crowded conditions. Standby for pictures, I'm operating off of two disposable cameras cause the movers boxed up my good camera.
