Hurricane Earl RC's Photo Gallery By Dugan ! -

Hurricane Earl was a wave maker. It took its time moving along the East Coast, sending swell to most corners of our beaches, and Central Florida was definitely one of the many places to benefit. I took the week, starting on Monday September 12th, and shot for five straight days when the swell died down. Although the sets still had a few feet to them Friday, when I got to my go to spot in Satellite Beach, there was only ONE surfer out when the previous days saw a hundred. The whole week was magical, with offshore winds and clean lines as far as you could see each day. The following photos are a few favorites, and show a bit of how each day was different, but ALL super fun. – Tom Dugan –

Tim Miller was the only person out Friday morning. Any other summer day with this little wave, there would have been 50 surfers, but everyone was a bit surfed out. Except Tim, this guy milks it til the very end. PHOTO : @tomduganphotos
