Looks like tomorrow morning is going to live up to the EPIC title that surfline gave it lol


EDIT: Yes, definitely know your limits for tomorrow, if it stays at the 18.5 feet it says right now off the South Shore of LI I don't know if I'll be going out... No one should get hurt tomorrow, so only go out if you KNOW you have the experience to do so.
