CRAZY HEAVY Surf BEFORE Beach CLOSED! | RAW Video

September 4, 2024 unleashed a raging Noreaster that made for some ugly, but crazy heavy waves. In true fashion, the boys sent it for fun at low tide in hopes of riding 1 barrel, and getting pounded for the first real time since Spring. Summer is over, and swells are back... BUT now we are faced with a closed Lighthouse Beach due to a Petroleum spill coign from the old Navy Base location around the jetties.
Its been ongoing for a year now, but getting worse... Army Corps of Engineers is finally stepping in to work on it, but we dont know how long it will take, and how much they are committed to cleaning up. Time will tell...
In the meantime, I'm grateful we got a session out there before it closed... cause it was so heavy!

Kid: I want to go to Skeleton Bay! Mom: we have Skeleton bay at home

😂😂😂😂

[@russellkasprzyk4934]

Cory Lopez still absolutely RIPPING.

[@SurfSarge]

Crazy how they let it go for so long that it got this bad! Thanks for the Updates!

[@felixbrauro]

I can't even mind surf these waves as good as Brett

[@BertoBoyd]

Really cool wave. Hope you guys get it worked out. Surfing in Diesel fuel sounds heavy! Stoked to see your vid pop up. Thanks algorithm!

[@illinoiswildz5049]

Brett, I was there last year, and got deathly sick for about 3 months, respiratory issues, and bad skin rash. I really hope they get things removed.

[@timothytice3074]

so sad. you guy's killed it

[@LovemydogWaylon]

Crispy Lay Back. Felt the spray in Texas.

[@unkletonyahearns179]

Yew. Team O’Neil 🏆🏆❤️

[@brettbarley]

you see their most recent edit with Crane, Robbie, and Noah? boys were killing it.

[@MomentsinTimeFilms]

Blessings to the pavers and they groms roots…

[@bpcsurfboards3110]

Appreciate the video and info.

[@taylorsmith4758]

That northerly wind was wild. Too much for a noob like me.

[@Live2Surf]

Humility is cool but you can rip those barrels

[@tybh]

Sad to see the erosion uncover something that should have been dealt with when they left. Now, it's polluting drastically and with no accountability.🙃

[@hman7236]

Heavy lumps😂😂

[@scottwalters6678]

Can't drive 200 yards at accesses cause of bird nests and you would think that would be another important reason to get that cleaned up

[@brettbarley]

NPS wants it cleaned up... they have been fighting so hard and tirelessly. Army Corps been screwing us over, but finally making moves.

[@hudsonh3985]

slabular

[@mm2024-7]

Definitely NOT Heavy surf. Looks folded over and blown out at best.

[@brettbarley]

Folded over is heavy haha… shaped like a box not an almond.

[@willbuchanan994]

Your moms heavy and folded over

[@mitchellcuthriell3441]

The hollower the wave the heavier it is relative to its size. Folded over its about the most hollow (heavy) way a wave can break. Can't argue with the blown out but offshore winds on the east coast has been a rarity this fall. Either way I don't get how you could put "not heavy" and "folded over" in the same sentence.

[@joshuaanderson4311]

glad to see a vid from ya.... Missed this family content!!! Fam of surfing.

[@swibwi]

looks a bit mushy

[@brettbarley]

so mushy

[@swibwi]

@@brettbarley don't get cute Brett , the only reason i'm not out there is because i displace so much ocean power carving that lots of it gets stuck in orbit .... disrupting space travel ,

Sick!!! Below sea level nugs, Good to see a boog on a few those! 😊

[@coryvogt7190]

Below sea level Cory still killing it 8:53 💪

[@SecretSpots]

Great footage, and thanks for your insight about the leakage at the end. Bummed to see that, I grew up coming down from NJ to surf those lighthouse groins since the late 80's and was hoping to make another pilgrimage down again soon. Looks like I have to wait on that.

[@joearchibald8498]

Super saddened to hear about the oil mess Brett. Especially since that base used to be such a big presence in the community years ago. (I remember surfing in front of the original lighthouse location & seeing the buildings still functioning.) Love seeing all these spots again & the memories, even though it's heartbreaking to see the beach disappearing. Those thick wedges make me think of Kitty Hawk and the Old Station surf spot (in front of what is now Black Pelican, which was the lifesaving station). Literal washing machine effect from the past vertical sucked out face.

[@michaelj8793]

Don't worry about the amount of content I'm sure that your movie will more than make up for the lulls on KZbin come on it's the East Coast we are more than use to lulls lol Anyways Be well my friend and God Bless You and Yours as always 👍

[@brettbarley]

Hahaha East Coasters definitely know flat spells and luls 😂

[@masonherlihy717]

There are a few good articles on Surfline also where they list government folks that we can contact to try and do our part to speed up the process.

[@davidanderson8809]

Happy to see you posting.. still my favorite surfer!

[@brettbarley]

dang that means a lot! just happy to share the adventures 🤙

[@davidanderson8809]

We're here for it!

[@pestilence9324]

Absolutely gnarly. Thems is board snapping waves

[@JonnyDee-uh1eo]

Lopez have you down to the Gulfcoast for Hurricane lefts? Nope. Buster! I could've put you on the legit Skelton Bay of the Gulf. By the time everywhere else goes onshore I'm catching hollow lefts reeling down the point that just keep throwing over and over down the line with offshore wind as the biggest swells are hitting. Been surfing this spot by myself 95% of the time for over 30 years. One thing about the westcoast of Fla is the bends and inlet shoals allow for swells to swing in to places you can't just drive up to but if you don't mind walking you can score unbelievably empty waves. Good thing for me very few don't like to surf outside the popular spots.

[@JustinTaylor-hv5kp]

Finally I live on the east coast, I'm tired of watching vlogs from California and the Pacific Ocean.

[@patriotgames942]

Huge fan for 15 years. Sad to hear about the jetty troubles! I'm in Buxton now, lets fish!

[@shawncarty7602]

Wasn’t there some sort of trillion dollar infrastructure bill passed a few years ago

[@kimmythoughts7102]

Bummer that they didn't sort it out sooner, great footage❤

[@joebrooks6125]

dang the waves at that spot are crazy, where are yall going to surf at now?!?

That light house will never be the same would it?..😊

Cameraman 🗣️ OMG

[@wrxoo2]

Great to see you Brett!

[@storm2000808]

Nice thick quick barrels... intense!🤙🏽

[@brettbarley]

Good fun after a lackluster summer

[@BuddytheBostonTerrier]

It’s sad that NPS/North Carolina doesn’t mind the houses falling into the ocean with the ocean currents taking the debris wherever. They should declare the homes that are directly on the beach as “hazardous” and condemn them. Homes must then be “deconstructed” within a certain period of time (weeks not months or years) to ensure more trashing of our beloved ocean doesn’t happen. Love your channel, Sir Barley!

[@brettbarley]

They are condemned… the NPS hates it and has pitched homes in the past so they could dismantle them. But that’s a LOT of money and so many are at risk, it’s too tall a task to get them all. Plus, You also need the homeowner willing to sell it…. Insurance won’t pay out for the house loss unless nature physically takes it. That’s why more aren’t torn down before they fall down. The system is a mess…

[@russelldavies1423]

Commentary is is a bit over the top...for a blown out mess

[@brettbarley]

It’s heavy. Guys getting pounded. It’s funny haha

[@cisco6926]

Unpleasant paddle out. Freezing as well. Nice

[@qanonbrasil5255]

It not freezing, yet! Water tempo is around 75’s

[@wisdomoverfear2685]

Got here as quick as I could ....thumbs up from the thumbnail.....

[@Live2Surf]

Not the case bro, glad to see you back! Sucks about the Diesel. Hope it gets cleaned up soon. Don’t worry about it. All will work out-nice little barrels you snagged a few!! Whew!!!🏄‍♂️🌊

[@xrpznvr]

hey brett, greetings from mexico. first of all thanks for your videos which have helped me progress in my surfing a lot more than any other youtube content creator. in case you are thinking about some ideas to make tutorial videos: ive heard a lot of different opinions about dropping from the peak or the shoulder here in zicatela. i think it would be interesting to have a video focusing on choosing where to take off from, and when peak or shoulder are more convenient depending the wave type, since i havent found anyone explaining this -for more intermediate/advanced surfer

[@Jason-TheChad-Muska_circa1995]

The way that it's folding like that kind of reminds me of skeleton bay. Brett it's amazing to see your kids grow up on your channel and come to love the things that you do and now seeing Mason turn into a grom and shredding along with you. Beautiful thing brother. 🤙

[@dcards4632]

Mini Chopes in Buxton. Sick. Nice to see Corey still ripping. That backside air.

Oh god the army core of engineers. Here we go .

Way to go Brett!!!! Good luck with your movie!!!! You are following your heart, keep after it!!!!! No matter how it turns out, we admire your guts and determination to make something totally rad. I know its going to be fantastic! Thank you for everything you do! God bless you!

Watching this is soooooo nostalgic for me it almost brings tears to my eyes I grew up in VA. Bch. And when a storm would come we would disappear for days to go down there skip school work drop alllll responsibilities and go have fun😂🥲
