>> we didn't get a chance to surf it up but that's all right. a little rough. we're not going to put her on that board today. >> reporter: these surfers came back to shore saying the waves were too dangerous. >> if you're paddling out there and the waves are crushing you, it's tough to get out. that's when i know i'm like no, time to go back in. >> reporter: forecasters say beryl is expected to move up the southeastern coast monday bringing much needed rain but washing out memorial day plans. let's take another look at the question of the day. according to u.s. d.a., more of these -- "u.s.a. today," more of these are sold than any other month. is it a, lawn mowers, b, toe mato plants or c, swimsuits. >> one person wrote, america is too fat and lazy so i'll say b, toe mato plants. let's eat gl. log on to our facebook fan page and leave your response. we'll reveal the ant in about an hour. we'll also -- the answer in
