Here are some pics from this morning, basically Pre-Sandy (I fished bayside before taking a ride to see what the ocean looked like).
It was a lot of white water......had a strong urge to cast into it. Can't imagine what it will be like in the next 48 hours.
First pic is sand piled up in preparation for Sandy
The rest are of the rough surf. Was a strong North East wind.
Was one big wave that made me sprint to the steps in the bottom pic, on that wave the water moved another 50 feet up the beach.

That last pic is scary. Thanks for the updates finchaser and monty. Stay safe, stay home. God bless all who live close to the water.

[ledhead36]

marinas by me are looking like ghost towns. Lots of boats were pulled. Brace yourselves.

[surfstix1963]

looks like you didn't have too much room to run WWM just another day in paradise.

Nice pics dude! Be careful. The noaa has revised the predictions. Now the storm is tracking slightly north. Might not be as bad as predicted.

Thanks for sharing the photos Monty. The monmouth beach swell info is now reporting at 10.8ft. Too big or dangerous to even surf out there. I heard a surfer went missing today. Be safe.

The swell at MB is 13.6 feet. Wonder what it is at the Manasquan?

"What we need is a noreaster to get this fall run going. That wll drop the water temps ann push the fish south" Where are those guys now, Are they fishing? This puts a nail in the coffin of the best fishing of the fall so far. Thousands of people will have property damage.:kooky:

Blitzing bass on the beach on Tuesday lol.
Thanks for the updates guys. Be safe.

[finchaser]

Went out to take some pictures for you guy's, I got a few but it is worse than what than I saw and photograhed in 1991and saw in 1962. All bridges leading to this area and the barrier Island are clossed many roads are washed out. The Manasquan inlet and river have overflowed at low tide. Most of the barrier island sand dunes have breached and the Atlantic ocean is running through houses and streets. For anyone who fishes Ortley Joey Harrisons surfclub a land mark has been washed away also the Parkway is now closed from LBI south to the end. The waves are now breaking on top of the Seaside pier hitting the rides. Ponit Pleasant beach is being evacuated as is Manasquan. Tree's are being snapped or rippedout of the ground. It is definately not a nice day in paradise. IMO the fall run is over as there are no roads or beaches and by time the clean up is done and sand comes back fish will be long gone. Well lights a flickering and wind sounds like train coming through.IMO fall run is over as there is no way to get to ocean and by time roads are openened and some cases repaved and beaches come back fish could be long gone

[Monty]

Thank you for the update Fin.
Be safe!!!
Can't imagine what this evening will bring.
Devastation of the Jersey coast.

[seamonkey]

In Brigantine the seawall was breached already. There will be so much damage hope the gov't comes through with some help. Thanks for the updates fin chaser.

[buckethead]

Much obliged finchaser. The buoy info now says the waves are 25.6 feet. I think it is buoy 44065. Biggest I can remember in years.

[surfstix1963]

Hope all are OK I squeaked through another with just a power loss good thing for generators.No damage luckily.

[CharlieTuna]

Thoughts and prayers for the losses. It's all over the news up here hope you folks manage to see the light at the end of the tunnel
