Fall in Maine.

Yesterday was a good day down at the rivermouth. Conditions have to be just right to lure me away from my home break, especially if the alternative means driving to a crowded break an hour to my south. This is Maine, after all, so crowded means there are 3 other guys out, but 3 >> 0. Still, we clearly made the right choice.

It's a good life.

Nice pics!


Was that during high tide? Looks like the waves didn't last too long.

I've seen bigger waves in a toilet

Midtide, incoming. It was better earlier (on the dropping side of mid), but that's when I was in the water.

I suspect SuPu would fit in just fine in that town. It is known to cater to those with "San Francisco" preferences.

Nice. I managed to make it out at Scarborough, which was surprisingly fun!

Brr-dee-brr.

Nice pics... glassy conditions and fall foliage on the beach...

What were you doing in there?

Vey nice - I miss the autumn in Maine, even when the surf is small. Tide looks a bit high for the rivermouth. I was back there this summer, just so you know Wells Beach was rocking the high tide sandbars - from the jetty, south about 200 yards.

Also heard the inside harbor mouth bar was working on the super low tide days; just don't let Harbor Master Bill catch ya.

The last yaer I lived up there I got the rivermouth with 12 foot faces, mid-high tide dropping out. It was breaking inside of the point about 100 yards north and reeling for 150 yards before closing out. A sick day for sure.
