Building Manhattan With A Rising Swell.... By Eric Cedeno

I did a quick surf check in Manhattan for lunch. It was surprised that the wind was still a strong offshore. There was only two guys out at Manhattan 26th Street and the 2nd shift lunch crew was talking their time watching the surf from the safety of the Lifeguard parking lot.

I kept driving and figured that El Porto would be even bigger, it was. There was two or three news crews recording the double over head waves out front. The parking lot was full of on lookers (like me) and a few brave surfers waxing up boards or putting the broken pieces back in their car. The word on the street is that the surf will be even bigger this weekend and now I'm really trying hard not to go out a buy a canon 7D so I can capture some of the action (but I might anyway).
