 Today'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

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.

Saturday 8:05am - Looking great for today. Low tide this afternoon, light wind offshore, Nantucket buoy showing 8' at 9 sec from the south. Doesn't get much better than this for mid January. Patriots game is tomorrow. Go today. You'll be happy you did.
And when you get back check out our new surf community. It's a great way to stay in touch with your crew.
