Nice left.

With the 1st full day of spring we saw snow mixing to freezing rain, and cold wind. Typical New England. All week it was cold, and wet, just an awful way to start spring. However with this cold weather there was a East/North East swell building. With the swell direction shifting ever so slightly to the East, and then East/South East at the end of the week, we actually had some fun, rideable waves. East swells are the trickiest to forecast. Right place at the right time!

Early Saturday morning. Small SW swell leftovers, no wind, and clearing skies. Some bigger chest high sets early but it was fading fast, and the wind came up around 10am. Glad to get out and get a few early, as it was junk the rest of the day.

Thank you St. Patrick! I'm starting to think that we always have waves on St. Patty's Day. A small south swell filled in over night. An early foggy session with offshore wind, but there was still some morning sickness on the surf. A epic afternoon, it really turned on with overhead sets, light offshore wind, bright sunshine, and airtemps in the mid 50s. An after work session had some onshore wind and funky rips, but still some great rides. Awesome day.

Making the most of it, is what its about as a surfer on the Right Coast. Why not paddle out if it's rideable? Too many people drive around, check many different spots, and then do not even bother to paddle out at all. With the right board, almost any wave can be fun. Monday morning leftovers, offshore wind, chest high sets, and fast hollow waves.

Happy Daylight Savings! Cheers to bringing back the post work surf sessions! Had some left over South West wind swell. The wind was suppose to go offshore, but never did. It was sideshore, and then came back onshore, so it never got as good as it could have. The warm air is starting to bring out more surfers, but its still not even close to crowded yet.
Sandbars are starting to change with the season.

A nice summer-type of system pushed its way through on Friday. Very foggy, warm air temps up into the 50s. Lite onshore wind, but the surf was still rideable and fun, with head high sets. It's best to always surf with someone else, especially on days like today, were you can dissapear into the fog.

After not surfing for a week, it was great to get back in the water. A low pressure system slid off the east coast and started to track its way North. It brought a large south swell on Monday but the wind was on it pretty bad. Rhode Island got good Monday afternoon as the wind clocked around to from the South East, to North. Tuesday at dawn was sick. With a rising tide and a fading swell, the afternoon had some small leftovers as well. More waves on tap for the weekend!

Afternoon had smaller waves, but great shape, bright sun, and crystal clear water.

March started out right! With some strong onshore winds and building surf on Monday, the forecast was set to improve for Tuesday. The wind went hard offshore on Monday night, giving way to some chest to head high waves on Tuesday morning. High tide made it less than ideal, and if the wind had been lighter, waves would have been bigger, but every day now we are seeing more and more daylight time, and thats always a good thing.
Windswell fun.
