The “Inlet”.
Low Tide at the inlet was 11;40, and we got into the water
about 12:00PM after a leisurely trip over Bellport.
We had an easy paddle over
from a launch at the East Moriches Coast Guard Station. Soon we were in
the current being drawn toward the inlet.
It was a pretty busy place with a bunch of people fishing
for stripers in the outgoing tide. We got blown right out and did a bit of
surfing out on the East side of the inlet on some pretty big waves.
Then we paddled over to the West side and surfed a few waves
over there. I was using a borrowed boat a pretty heavy plastic Baja, and I was
happy to have it but I wasn’t strong enough to kick it around in the surf, and wasn't really dressed for a swim, so I was pretty cautious.
We surfed the waves over there, and decided to stop lunch
around 14:30. It was overcast, but the wind was mellow and had very relaxing
lunch and some refreshment. We started back around 16:00. We surfed a bit after
we left, the waves were reduced, but still substantial.
There was a nutty guy buzzing the inlet in an ultralight and
flying very close to the water and the beach, like 10 feet, and we took a bunch
of pictures.
By the time we got to the inlet we were very quickly being
sucked right into it. A prefect Trip. Still a ton of boats even late late in
the afternoon. I was fishing but not very enthusiastically, and I I didn’t
catch anything.
We got back just
before dusk and could easily find the put-in.
I'm using some borrowed pictures, my camera has gone missing, but I hope to get it back soon it has pictures and a truth...
