Just to post it in the thread.

That looks solid. The vid was less impressive, but still big. Any pics out there from the reefs near shore to RI? I imagine it may have been slightly less beefy, but more lined up. That deep water reef really seems like just a peak, and then back into deep water.
Still, I think that is the largest wave pic I have ever seen from the EC. I'll need to check with my buddy. He has some old school shots from the outside jetty at Wells from December 1994. That summer, RI also had a solid swell.
Up at my beach, Saturday AM was similar, but a bit smaller. Lots of shoulder, with sets every few minutes in the overhead range. The period was much shorter and less coherent, so a fair number of the waves would split apart as they came around the bar point while others would stack&dump. Fun lefts, which don't always materialize at this break either.Quote:

IGOR! IGOR! IGOR!
It looks like it should be a Hurricane in the next few days, and taking a (hopefully & **anti-Jinx***) direct route towards the NE coast.
^^^^^^^thanx for posting. may be good enough to break in the new 6'2" lost shark xtr.
maybe a little bump for tomorrow/sat for the rnf.

Powder Goat. Here is you set up for hudge NE. If all goes as forecast today for the next ten days. Hollee sheet! This is the set up. I imagine every where will get some, but this thing is looking to drive right at RI, ME and come damn close. But not too close.
Someone needs to head up to Nova Scotia and ge on a long deep point.
Marty Feldman will not be arriving tommorow, for those over-anxious.
Good news is, the Jew shop I'm currently collecting FERN from (Federal Reserve Notes) is closed on Saturday.
Some sort of Jew holiday, aparently.
IGOR!!!!
Spinnin' on up!

That is a badass pic and a badass storm. Enjoy the next couple of weeks boys - should be huge!
Long period Igor energy starting to fill in, with periods in the 14 s range. game on!
well after a week long road trip back on nantucket. jumped in this morning and surfed for the first time in two years since i been living in fernie b.c. nice groundswell coming in 4 to 6 ft at 12 sec. walled up and dumping on the sandbar. have to say i took a beat down, 125 days skiing with a lot of touring dont do shit for those paddling muscles. hopefully be able to get in some more but since its just supposed to get bigger from here will prob get shut down on the paddle out and watch from the beach... dawn patrol tommorow nice to only have a 5 min drive to the beach, one of the good things about living on a small island.
swells been holding around 4-4.5 ft at 15-17 sec, so good energy. No huge size yet, but some consistent sets in the couple feet overhead range thus far. This morning promises to be good, with north winds. Swell forecasted to fill in more during the day. If any surf mags are in the portland area today and want to hook up later this afternoon for a session, drop a pm.
4-4.5' @ 15-17 sec... um, yum. Have you had a chance to get to any of the outer reef stuff? 4.5'@17 would be breaking well overhead, pushing double with the right set up. We just had a 3.5@17 showing well OH.
How does Docs work on a swell like this? I imagine the reef peak at O is working. As is the moody rights, j bar, little rivermouth and perkins. Oh, and ti, of course. Some of those cobble stone islands outside cape porpoise. Anyone up in the Small Point area?
Pics????
A friend I ran into yesterday left on a boat and said it was quite good, but won't divulge the outer island to me. Another group went to NS, so I'll wait for their reports, but a text this morning said it was pumping!Quote:

Friend headed up to SP today, so I'll get the report (I have work to do until 4, yet I'm here posting on TGR :) )
Of course the local paper has to catch me at a closeout section instead of elsewhere on the wave.
Check out the shiny bald head! :biggrin:

Will post more images of the surf from Igor as they become available.

Probably saw Pete there but didn't know, next time.
I got some pics of this storm and earl that I hope to load up but I still have to figure out how to upload the pics from my computer
Nice dude! yes, Monday was great. You got the best of it, as this morning was nice, but not nearly the size Monday had. Lemme know next time you're in town...might have a place to crash.Quote:

honey hole in the morning for low tide leftovers.
glad everyone got some!
