“Preserve Future Access to S-Turns,” is an effort from the Surfrider Foundation Outer Banks Chapter to ensure that surfers are able to continue enjoying what Surfer Magazine has claimed “one of the 100 best waves in the world”. S-Turns is located just North of Rodanthe on Hatteras Island. The S-Curves/S-Turns area has a deepwater trench offshore that causes the waves to have a bit more energy in comparison to neighboring beach breaks and is one of the most powerful waves on the East Coast. For many surfers, this is the main, if not only reason they decide to travel as far South as Rodanthe to score great surf. Now with the recent damage done from Hurricane Irene, there is the potential to have a permanent bridge built that might restrict all access to this coveted surf spot. To ensure that the Department of Transportation takes into consideration the opinions of surfers and beach goers alike, please take a brief moment to make yourself heard on this online petition: Click HERE: “Preserve Future Access to S-Turns”. Please consider signing soon as the deadline is January 20.

Looks like some decent swell starting to fill in from T.S. Sean – now located just WSW of Bermuda with winds in the 55-65 knots range. Nothing major but definitely head high to overhead sets rolling in with a long period ground swell. Looks like today will be questionable with wind directions skirting out of the NNW for Northern Beaches but tomorrow could be fun. Check the report page for details.

Keep your eyes on the horizon. When the heavy draining fall swells show up between October 15 and December 1st, the 2011 Battle of the Banks will throw down yet another bloody battle. It’s Virginia Beach against Outer Banks in a fight for bragging rights. So far, Virginia Beach has held the title over the last 3 years. Will this be the year when team OBX takes their land back? Stay tuned and we’ll keep you informed when the contest is a go. You can also click on the poster for more information.

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!

Got to shoot a few photos this morning before going out. Super fun waist to chest high surf, clean, green and warm water. Gotta love September.
