First time at Milner Beach in 2 years



Tuesday 9/6/2011, Milner Beach.

NNE winds Compliments of TS Lee spinning over Alabama.
First time out on my home turf in a long time NNE winds were near perfect side on conditions, flat on inside and nice rolling swells on the outside.
Pulling off hero jibes on the inside, slashing some nicely formed swells heading out and hero duckin on the outside swell - felt good to be back on home turf.
Forecast called for 10-15 but it was 15-20 most of the day allowing the swell to get well organized on the outside.
Only negative was the weed factor.
Session: 6:00 - 8:00 Wind slackened and turned slightly offshore.
Gear: 6.0 Ezzy, 101 RRD
Conditions: Inside flat, Outside nice rolling swells
Weather: 60, cloudy, water 70 degrees.
Wind: Up to 25 NNE
Schooled: Downwind 360s

Hi Tom. I was out here on St. Clair for an amazing four days in a row, with yesterday being the best. Because the wind blew for so long the waves ramped up to three to four foot, and they formed long rows, what a blast. The wind must have pujshed all the seaweed into shore as well because there was hardly any in the lake.
