September 10, 2004 - Good Harbor Beach, Gloucester, MA

Its been a while since I've been surfing in Gloucester. I am still on half day Fridays and the report was waist-chest+ for today. I think this was accually the remnants of Frances. Scott and Alyssa were in town so I met them at Good Harbor. It was a half decent day with WNW winds, but the winds were about 15-20 mph when were were surfing at about 1:15-2:45 PM. The surf was definitely clean and about waist w/occasional chest, but they were total close-outs as you can see from the photo. Still it was pretty fun getting into the waves, but the rides were real short. We heard that it was better in the early AM w/ bigger surf and less winds.
