Hurricane Season 2024

Ahhh, Hurricane Season. If you're like us, this is the time of year you dream about. Inevitably some of the best days of an East Coast surfer's life are had during this time. Tracking the storms weeks out just as they break away from the African coast, counting down the days until the front runners of the swell will start to show, wiping the dust off the quiver, clearing the schedule with hopes of surfing for days until your arms don't work. Capping that off with a few beverages in the parking lot until dark with your best mates, just to do it all over again the next day, those are the memories imprinted in our minds when we think of Hurricane Season.  At least that's what it's supposed to be. For us out on the East End of Long Island, this hurricane season was one of the most disappointing wave producing seasons in as long as we can remember. And for the record, that is strictly speaking of surfable days. We are acutely aware of the devastating impact this hurricane season had on other areas of the country. A little recap below on the season that never was...

BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR...
