Ok people, here it is! Hurricane Irene is coming our way and yeah, you could stay inland, catch some rain and hit some river stuff, or you could head to the coast, try not to get killed, and surf some HUGE waves! Forecasts for wave height are looking amazing. On
SWELLINFO.COM The apex time/place looks like Montauk, NY on Long Island on sunday afternoon (as the storm is passing over) with projected swell of 26 feet!!! Yes 26. Holy Crap. That's VERY double overhead.

Otherwise it looks like good surf between chest high and over head on the NY and NJ coast all day saturday and sunday (ridiculous on sunday afternoon), and the Cape and Maine coming in later and dropping out (down to chest high) by noon on monday. HIT IT UP! As a side note, expect beach closures and anal bureaucrats with guns trying to keep you off the water and/or freaking out while you are out there and arresting you when you come in if the waves look especially amazing. As an aside, don't be stupid. Only go out if you are comfortable with big ocean surfing, familiar with the unique risks, and able to avoid swimming. But like Han says: "Never tell me the odds!"
