Hermine Surf Check: Plymouth, Duxbury and Marshfield

We went to Duxbury and Marshfield Tuesday to check out what Hermine was doing up there. As it turns out, she wasn't doing much to Green Harbor.


Brant Rock was serving barrier beach duty for this storm. I was shooting from where Charlie's used to be.


The waves did hit the wall in Duxbury, but they barely hit it.


These rocks were placed here long ago to mark where the Trans-Atlantic cable came ashore. It's still there, buried under a ton of sand.


The former Gurnet Inn, now a rich person house.



Duxbury did get some nice waves... just nothing that made me happy to have skipped out on Westport or Truro.


Green Harbor had some wall-splashing. I would have moved forward and got out of that shadow, but I didn't want to get soaked.



The seas yield a treasure here and there. Wire traps wash up less than wooden ones used to.


I'm not sure if these waves are the work of Hermine...


... or maybe even Gaston, throwing waves at Duxbury from way out to sea...



... or just a strong East wind.


If you're missing your Tiki Torch Beach Stairs, hit me up in the comments and we can talk reward money.


I need to remember this vantage point for a day when I have a better camera or bigger waves.



... like in Plymouth the day before.

See you next storm!
