Having grown up bodyboarding in New Jersey, I'v developed a fondness for Fall in the northeastern United States. The early Autumn months of September and October are my favorite time of year. It's October, specifically, though that is truly magical for me!
The water is, generally, still warm to the point that there are days when the water temps are warmer than the air first thing in the morning. The waves are pretty consistent this time of year, with the occasional late-season hurricane buzzing by to pump in some additional swell.
The sunsets paint the sky in an explosion of brilliant colors that shimmer across the surface of the ocean while your out in the line-up during a late day session. It almost feels like you've gotten absorbed into a Bob Ross painting. It's just beautiful.
Plus, there's just something extremely cozy about finishing up a good session, going back to your car, peeling out of your wetsuit, and slipping into you favorite hoodie and pair of jeans. If I could find a way to be back home in New Jersey every October, trust me I would go for it!
