And, of course, it was way, way, better back in the 1960's. Don't get me started about "Labor Day".

But then, again, it is always too easy to forget the one, unchanging, truism of surfing: It is ALWAYS better where you are not.

It is very clear that surf in Brevard Co. has changed considerably since the mid 60s or so.

So many issues:

Natural ebb and flow....Its a barrier island

Changing weather patterns: The winter low pressure systems , seldom line up as they once did.

The SE suck up followed by the low pressure off the Carolinas happens very seldom. Used to happen every week from mid December to the end of March.

Natural beach erosion and insane sand pumping have destroyed the smooth , gradually slopping beach and near shore.

Dredging at the port interrupted the natural flow of sand.
How many remember the groins at 4th St S. How many remember the poles around 25th Street S.?

How many remember houses in Cape Canaveral so close to the shore that the erosion got them?

Yes in the immortal words of Pete Dooley: "It was better back then."

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

I'm with mp. Used to get up at sunrise to check waves and surf almost every day but ever since joaquin.. time and tide!!
