POLES SATURDAY AM REPORT: Waves are looking fun at report time this morning. It's in the waist to stomach high range with really good shape. The wind is offshore and is expected to pick up throughout the day so I'd get on it soon if you can. Not too many people were out at the Poles but most of the normal spots should be on right now so go find one!

POLES UPDATE: Just coming off of low tide and we have dropping surf in the thigh to waist high plus range. It's cleaned up quite a bit since this morning although the sets are becoming a little less consistent. Still some fun ones coming through if you are itching to surf and can make it out before it's gone.

nice turn

that's 2 accidents this month at that spot

AM POLES REPORT: Hard-angled shorter period wind swell out of the SE this morning. A little disorganized at first check with a light north wind on it early. Looks to be about waist high with some solid chest high plus sets out the back. There were plenty of workable sections just have to be a little more selective. Pretty steady S to N current so get ready to paddle. You will def. want to keep your eye on the winds today. We have another front moving through and the winds have potential to be offshore at some point during the day... This swell will probably not last long if the wind goes offshore so I would get on it quick.. Overall it's worth a check at your favorite spot and tide today.. and keep an eye on those near shore winds. Check back for an update shortly.

We have sizeable swell this morning

A little junky and disorganized right now

Hopefully we will see it clean up a bit later today

POLES THURSDAY PM REPORT: Small choppy surf coming in this afternoon at the Poles. It's in the waist high range but so disorganized that it really wasn't looking very appealing at all. Strong south current is sweeping up the beach so hopefully it will just keep blowing and we'll see some size increase as the day goes on. Check back for the AM report to see if conditions have improved.

AM POLES REPORT: Surf has come up a bit as expected. Nothing too great at report time, knee high plus onshore wind-slop with a dropping tide at first check. Looks like winds are expected to be out of the S/SE throughout the day. Short period swell is supposed to fill in a bit more later. I would be sure to keep your eyes on the flags.. The wind could swing more SW as this front moves past us and things may clean up for a small window of surf later today...provided a little more size moves in.. No promises but something to keep an eye on.

PM POLES REPORT: Not much happening surf-wise this afternoon.. Ankle high onshore mush breaking right on the beach. Another nice day out here at the beach with wamer air temps and plenty of sunshine. Seabreeze has kicked up a notch out of the SE. Expect to see steady winds out of the S/SE over the next 24 hours and building short period SE wind swell. Which could take us back into the rideable range by tomorrow morning.

POLES AM REPORT: Dropping tide at first check this morning. Surf is not looking good, it's dropped down even more this morning. Shin high or less with a light side/onshore breeze out of the south. You can probably forget about surfing in NF today. Surf isn't that great but the weather has been really nice out at the beach the last few days. It's nice to see folks coming back out to the beaches after a long winter. Get out and enjoy it. It looks like there is still a shot for some short period SE windswell over the next couple of days (showing up Thursday) from a near shore system developing right off the coast. Something to keep an eye on.

All waves are born from the sun

Not much action in the NF maternity ward today

Check back later..Swell is on the way!

POLES PM REPORT: Small unridable surf coming in at report time this afternoon. It's about knee and breaking right onshore. I did see a couple break on the sandbar but I'm not sure if it would even push longboard. Might start to look a bit better as the tide comes in later this afternoon but I wouldn't expect much. A ton of new pictures have been added to the poles gallery from this last swell. Be sure to check them out. High-res downloads are only $5.
