Surf cam controversy on Long Island PDF Print E-mail
Georgica BeachToday's NY Times runs a story by Corey Kilgannon on the bad feelings surf cams engender when they expose a good break previously known only to locals.  The centerpiece of the story is a tale of woe (or joy depending on perspective) about Jimmy Minardi's stolen web cam. 45 year old Minardi is an East Hampton native and a fitness instructor to the stars.  His celebrity clients include Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld. He set up a cam overlooking Georgica Jetties (shown at right). The lesser known spot was popular with local surfers.  After the cam was set up kooks arrived along with bad vibes. Matt Norklun, an outspoken critic of the cam said, “I don’t know who took it, but whoever it is, he’s a folk hero around here. The police asked me, ‘Would you tell us if you did know?’ And I said, ‘Probably not.’ ”  Jimmy Minardi can't be stopped so easily.  He's setting up another camera with a second camera to keep an eye on the first one.  

Surf cams save driving which in turn saves money and lessens CO2 output.  All good.  However, the folks who set up the cams  need to be respectful of the congestion they can cause at local breaks.  A cam at a crowded well-known spot does more good than harm.  A cam overlooking a small local spot... not cool.  

Here's the NYT story

Serious waves coming next week PDF Print E-mail

Friday 2pm: Waves are coming next week. A massive low pressure system develops on Monday 1-28, stretches the length of the East Coast by Tuesday and and throws out waves in the 10'+ range to east facing beaches from North Carolina to Maine. The wind will be onshore at 40mph+ on Monday. Looks like it'll turn offshore on Thursday and give us clean waves in the head high range.
