September 25, 2005 - Jeness Beach, Rye, NH

We made plans to meet Lauren at Jeness this day as we had seen her the day before at Larry and Loretta's wedding. There was supposed to be good long range ground swell from Hurricane Phillipe. The report in the morning said waist-chest and clean...of course that was before we got there and the winds switched. The ocean looked so ugly and disappointing. It was super choppy with a stiff south wind and you could barely see sets through all the chop. I was able to get a few rides, some even on a face, but it was a fight against chop and wind. Occasionally there was a cleanup set that cleaned up all the chop (and people) for a minute and left a lot of foam. I only stayed in for about an hour. It was just too ugly to take any photos. Hope I can get 1 or 2 more sessions this year.
