| We went to Horseneck Beach in Westport MA on Thursday to check out some of the long distance surf rolling in from Hurricane and then Tropical Storm Maria. |
 |
| We picked a great day for it, amazing late September weather. I'd have gone swimming if I thought that I would have survived it. |
 |
| The wind was cutting across the waves, rather than pushing behind them. Didn't seem to slow 'em down much... |
 |
| Did make the waves a bit messy, but they looked good. |
 |
| Tropical Storm Maria is steamrolling East out to sea, but she should throw swells back at Massachusetts for a while. She'll be soaking Irishmen as a non-hurricaney low pressure area by Monday. |
 |
| There's a High Surf Warning through Friday night's 6 PMish high tide for SE facing beaches. |
 |
| There is also concern over rip currents, although we turn more Fall than Summer Friday and Saturday, and no one is swimming if it is 50 degrees and raining. |
 |
| When I was a kid, a storm like this would wash up 50 lobster pots for the locals to raid. They switched to metal pots in the late 70s, and storms don't beach as many of those. |
 |
| Westport was on some Hawaii 5-0 ish Thursday... |
 |
| I didn't see any surfers, as the surf was pretty messy. Someone told me maybe Rhode Island. |
 |
| May be Outer Cape tomorrow and Saturday for waves... |
 |
| Westport had 6 and 7 foot waves at times. |
 |
| Good show, Maria! |
