I guess east vs. west surfing is the same as skiing. East coast surfing can be good, it’s just good out west much more often/regularly.
I’ve also found that chasing storms can be just as tough (i.e. you may get skunked) surfing as it can prove to be skiing.
I was super disappointed Columbus Day weekend on the Cape. Nor’easter turned subtropical kicked up big surf, but a little choppy with unfavorable onshore winds. Nobody was surfing. I would have, but the agreement with wifey was that I wouldn’t be the only shark bait in the water. October is prime time for Cape shark activity.....
