Oct. 14, 2002 - Salisbury Beach, MA, Good Harbor/Long Beach Gloucester, MA

Met Larry at 11:00 AM. First time here. Man... it was huge and with a 20-25 mph offshore wind. Clean but still messy from weekend storm. Waves were head-double overhead out far and too big to catch without bailing big time. They were travelling so fast that they were almost impossible to catch. Paddled in when I got a chance and caught some of the reforming waves. Caught a couple waves, but overall a dissapointing experience due to the enormous waves. Drove to Good Harbor and saw some nice waves there. About 20 people out. Waves were chest-head and clean. Some real closeouts though. Long Beach had only knee-stomach (big difference between two beaches). First photo is Salisbury. Second photo is a small cove with potential just north of Long Beach in Rockport.
