Nah, earlier this week the swell was predicted to be pumping, but the next swell that is going to pump is going to be the weekend after this upcoming one.

Actually, besides summer "boogie boarders," most spongers are just as apt to underestimating wave heights as standups, kneelos, and the rest of the wave riding world. You've probably heard little kids running up the beach and saying, "WOAH I JUST CAUGHT LIKE A TEN FOOT WAVE O MY GOSH!" but that's not generally what spongers are like. If we catch a big one, we know it, but we are just as likely to--or not to--claim as any other wave rider.

But yes, if your question is truly whether or not everything is 1-2 foot overhead when you are laying down...I guess so? Never busted out the ruler out there.
