If it is long period, then there are way better spots between those two worth hitting up. Try looking for a point or a reef. Hint, there is a spot listed in this thread. And another is not too far from Gooches. Just drive south, poke around, and wait for the sets. You'll find the goods. Third spot worth looking, especially if you have a small boat to launch, would be a rocky island near Porpoise Rocks. Oh, and da rivermouth can be good, especially mid tide coming in, if there is some size with that period.

pretty sure that is the most amount of people i've seen in the water! wholly shit! the points were good yesterday. Costellos was breaking nicely and some were ripping the shit out of it. good weekend.

ya, i always find prime time summer to be not as bad as fall/winter/spring oftentimes. many folks won't surf in summer cuz of crowds and wait till after labor day when it's just as crowded or worse. glad the last week long swell wasn't too bad. sounds like it def set this one up to be wicked busy.

roof work is done for now. gotta hand carry 4000 pounds of arch shingles up the ladder in the am then back to the coast by early afternoon. been pretty up here, but man do i miss home.

outta the woods finally. looks like a nice good sized peaky 8 second period windswell for the morning with good on/off surf for at least a week.

git on it!

Damn Im missing Maine right now! And surfing... and everything about the ocean! Fly fishing and hiking out here in MT just dont quite make up for having the ocean as your playground.

Thanks for the stoke Rog, keep it coming!

yesterday was FKNA FUN!!!

got a coupla sessions in before 10am at 2 different spots here nh while the gf taught yoga and before we headed up to the white's for an overnight camping trip. ne is awesome:)

rye beach was really playful chest high a-frame steep bowls everywhere. sets were a bit bigger and it was pretty much hero surfing. with the tide dropping i then headed to the wall, just south of the hoards and scored overhead waves with a pretty stiff offshore wind which made for super fun late drops to nicely lined up walls.

amazing how much bigger the wall was than rye or the points. so good.

just got back from camping. nice to have the mountains 1.5 hours from the coast. wind looks a bit on it now, but may score a late day sesh while the gal teaches more yoga.

september has been sensational!!!

ha...was at rye at low tide then the wall at high tide with da boy. better at the wall later with the wind dropping a bit.

'killed' two bikes in one week...comes in threes so i'm thinking about breaking out the skis...i like having an excuse to buy new ones. maybe i run them over accidentally.

ya, some bombs were coming through at da wall.:D

how'd ya kill bikes? mine collect dust:fm:

surf now looks kinda shitty. may just chill. tired anyway. smokin wine, drinkin weed, and ummm, ummm, yeah:D at the camp site took it's toll. getting old:)
