It’s been said that expectation is the cause of all disappointment—and when you make a habit of chasing swells, it can be pretty hard to leave your expectations at home. In the old days, before detailed, online swell forecasts—20 years ago or so—surf trips were largely educated guesses.
We knew what seasons were best for what coasts, but we also knew that surfing was a fickle beast, and that mid-season lulls usually outnumbered five-star days. So we tempered our expectations, hoped for the best, and booked trips blindly. If we scored, we were stoked. If not—well, at least we were on a trip away from the stress of work and home.
