October 31, 2004 - Jeness Beach, Rye, NH

Halloween. The last 4 times I've gone surfing, its been at Jeness. It seems to be a consistent break regardless of the tides. This was the tail end of a week long of head high surf that we both missed. Scott and I arrived at the wall at almost the exact same time. The tide was WAY to high to surf, but it looked like it would have been good if the tide was lower. It was clean (WSW winds) ground swell in the knee-waist range. The air temp was nice and warm in the 60's, but the wind was 15-20 mph. I wore my gloves and Scott wished he had a pair. The tide was real high at Jeness, but the waves were breaking much better and there were a bunch of people out, but it was only about knee-thigh high. Still these were reael fun waves. They didn't have much power, but the wind held the wave up long, so you could get long rides. I was getting lots of really good rights and some lefts. You had to angle yourself into the wave as you were paddleing to stay on the crest and get a nice long ride. Some of the rides you either had to pump or crouch down real low because of wind resistence. We had a 2.5 hour session and then checked out the wall again but the tide was too high. Scott went back in at Jeness, but I called it a day cause I was cold. Would have been a great long board day. Fun little waves regardless! Didn't bring a camera.
