October 3, 2004 - Jeness Beach, Rye, NH

Met Scotty V. for some surf on Sunday morning. The air temp has cooled down to the upper 50's but the water felt really warm. Surf was kind of a mix of ground and wind swell with pretty choppy conditions. The water was a soupy mix of seaweed and brownish-green cloudy water. Winds were out of the NE at 5-15, but were out of the NW before we got there at 9:30 AM, so that messed it up a bit. We went in on the southern end first wich pretty much blew. The waves were really mushy and hard to catch but we did manage to get a few rides. We were kind of bummed before we went back in on the northern side of the beach and wind calmed a bit. There were some waist high maybe bigger mushy sets coming through. I caught a bunch of pretty decent rides, some that actually had some length although a lot were closeouts. Scott didn't have as good of luck with wave placement and being in the right spot. Could have used a longer board today too. Surfed for about 2.5 hours. Fairly fun.
