Ohhh-phelia… Stackin’ em High on the Horizon

Posted Oct 2 2011 by Brent in Uncategorized with 0 Comments

I spent more time in the water than I did taking pictures so I only have a few to post. Conditions were improving all day and the wind for the most part remained offshore. Swell was stacked on the horizon with solid swell filling in from the formerly Cat 4 Ophelia hurricane that tracked Northeast of Bermuda recently. Needless to say, this unusual swell (6+ feet at 16+ seconds) made for some nicely formed sets that graced our beaches. There should be some swell leftovers and offshore winds for manana so stay tuned!

About the Author

BrentGrowing up as a kid in Virginia Beach, Brent has always been surrounded by water. Sailing, surfing, fishing and skateboarding were his passions and foundation that drew him near the ocean. He attended Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA and graduated with a Bachelor's in Communication Arts & Design. Having worked at several companies in Richmond as an Art Director, and living away from the ocean for about 10 years, he and his wife decided to make the move back East with their sights on the Outer Banks. With surfing being his favorite hobby, the Outer Banks was a perfect fit. In 2005, Brent headed back to a more familiar and welcoming beach community and now lives in Kill Devil Hills with his wife and 2 daughters. Brent has run a Graphic Design business (BN Design & Advertising) for over 12 years. Complimenting his Design business during the day, Brent is also an acoustic solo guitarist and plays gigs regularly on the Outer Banks and is also a board member of the Surfrider Foundation, Outer Banks Chapter.View all posts by Brent →
