Surf is better over at Carolina/Kure Beach. Prevailing winds will kick up a good 2-3 wave and a storm system will get it to a respectable 4-6. TS or miss by a Hurricane will get really nice waves. I surf on a sit-on-top kayak which will be fine in the smaller waves(I'm actually down on Oak Island, where it takes 4 days of SW winds to get a good surf up). I think Tift missed out on the waves as she had a full slate around the Wilmington show. Saturday was Raleigh (NC Art Museum) w/Teddy Thompson, and she was then off somewhere else. She spoke wistfully of the waves down on Carolina Beach where she lived in the 90s for awhile. |
