Hurricane Bill Photo

Hurricane Bill pushed a large and powerful swell into the shores of the northeastern US and Canada last weekend. Here’s an image we captured on Sunday morning off the coast of Massachusetts, just after sunrise. The crest and face of this wave stood a solid 12-14′ tall before breaking in its final approach to the shore. The wild winds and seas kept us watching in awe for a few hours before conditions settled down and invited us back into the waves, to surf.

This image will also be available as a fine art print, entitled, “Offshore Winds”. Drop us a line if you are interested.

The Atlantic Hurricane Season

The first named storms of the Atlantic’s tropical storm/hurricane season were born this week, and although the storms named Ana and Claudette have already pittered out, a storm named Bill has developed into a powerful Cat 3/4 hurricane.. Take a look at this satellite loop from the National Hurricane Center. Let’s hope storms like Bill, and those that follow, stay out to sea and do nothing but generate fun swells for Carribean and east coast surfers…
