The photos were taken after the storm on Tuesday morning, at dead low tide, standing almost to Salt Island and looking toward Thacher Island. I don’t recall ever seeing such enormous waves at low tide and will stay tuned in the future. Look for the surfer’s head in the waves 🙂
Brrrrrrrrr–early morning Gloucester surfers on the back shore–the water temperature is 40 degrees.
Brace Rock on the left, with ginormous waves crashing onto the path behind the retreat. I estimate the trees at the head of the Cove to be about 20-25 feet in height.

When at Good Harbor Beach filming at daybreak, I often see the surfers arriving en mass and then departing around 8:30–I imagine heading off to work. What a terrific way to start the work day! For the daily New England surf forecast (dawn patrol), visit New England Surf.
