[surfer311]

give it a lil more time tbh.. one to two years ago we had huge swells in october, remember the Thanksgiving swell last year/year before? Then there was that hurricane that put out half of SFL's power through late november/early december (although i didn't surf it.. i'm sure waves were huge)
I can agree its been dissapointing, but there HAVE been waves around.. just have to make a trip to CFL or WestCoast everyonce ina while for size ;D

this has been a record-breaking season... just not in our backyard
i am really, really happy that none of these widow-makers came anywhere near us... it has been a disappointing summer in some ways. but, damn, look at these stats...
on the positive side, get yr board ready for next week... i see hints of 8'+ by late monday into tuesday:eek: again, we shall see...
"Dean the ninth strongest hurricane on record in the Atlantic. This is the third lowest pressure at landfall behind the 1935 Labor Day hurricane in the Florida Keys and Hurricane Gilbert of 1988 in Cancun Mexico. Dean is also the first Category 5 hurricane to make landfall in the Atlantic Basin since Andrew of 1992."

then there was felix...
"1. Fastest intensification from a tropical depression to a Category 5 hurricane — around 51 hours. (This is apparently an Atlantic record only.)
2. Second-fastest pressure fall in 12 hours (50 millibars), third-fastest in 24 hours (63 millibars). Again, apparently this is an Atlantic-only record.
3. 13th full Category 5 hurricane landfall in the Atlantic region. Others include 1935’s “Labor Day” storm, 1969’s Camille, 1992’s Andrew, and 2007’s Dean.
4. Felix makes 2007 only the fourth known Atlantic hurricane season to have more than one Category 5 hurricane. The others are 1960, 1961, and 2005.
5. Felix makes 2007 the only known Atlantic hurricane season to have two full Category 5 landfalls.
6. Felix makes 2007 the only known Atlantic hurricane season in which the first two storms to reach hurricane status (Dean, Felix) have also reached Category 5 status and gone on to Category 5 landfalls."
