An unusual weather pattern generated some exceptional October surf. While it is not unheard of to have some tropical action still this late in the year, this non-tropical swell was a bit of sneaker. The Pensacola buoy topped out with 16.7 feet at 9 seconds. The wind remained steady out of the North all day. The outside sandbar at Blue Mountain Beach was working great, so long as you could get through the punishing inside to get out there. John Cross and I put in about a mile down the beach anticipating a strong drift and were rewarded with some excellent waves.
