advil, towels... gas tank topped off...

looks like a warm up session at Gulf Shores Thursday
afternoon... should have a nice chest to head high ground
swell with ofshore winds...

not sure when or where... but possible epic GOM surf
this weekend... Maybe Amazons in Panama City...
How big? :roll:

Camille: Being a surfer from the right coast, I had to travel to Biloxi on business in easrly May but had no real hope to catch swell on the GOM. Was I ever wrong, the day i flew into Mobile I headed over to Pensacola Bch and the waves were chest high and you've never seen anyone scramble to rent a board so fast...took me four surf shops to find a rental board. Ended up scoring two really epic session that week and the guys in the line-up were SO friendly. I'll never forget the great time I had on the third coast.

With out question the GOM is the most under rated surf for East Coasters. I have surfed both and can say the Amazons is likely one of the top 3 surf spots for all of Florida. Maybe reef road and of course the inlet but nothing fires like the Pan Handle during hurricane season!
