New York “winter” so far
This is a two month feature spanning December and January which usually are cold and stormy. Last year saw record snowfall, freezing temperatures and if I recall, not that many waves. What a difference a year makes! Some call it global warming, I prefer climate change, but either way it’s been a crazy “winter” here [...]
A November To Remember!
November is transition time here in New York and that usually means waves. The air cools, days shorten and storms start brewing. This November featured a bunch of offshore storms that sent Hurricane like pulses up and down the east coast to start the month…amazingly we had temperatures in the upper 50′s and low 60′s [...]
Oktoberfest on Fire Island
October is almost always my favorite month here on Long Island. The beautiful skies, the migrating fish and birds and oh yeah great waves! This October didn’t feature hurricane swells (besides Ophelia) but we did see a crazy Noreaster that occured on the anniversary of the Perfect Storm. We also had a bunch of smaller fun [...]
Hurricane Katia Lights Up Fire Island!
September is usually THE month for warm weather/water, Hurricane swells and offshore winds here in NY. What made this September different was that the World Tour came here to try and score these conditions we New Yorkers are so fond of. Amazingly (or right on schedule) Hurricane Katia came marching up the east coast far [...]
April Barrels on Fire Island
An April Fool’s Noreaster started off what turned out to be a solid month of surf here in New York. We also had a ton of fog and chilly days here on the south shore as well…but finally the weather has warmed and summer is right around the corner! Here are some of the stand-outs [...]
TIDES OF MARCH
After a brutal New York winter March proved to be a welcomed change of season for Long Island surfers (despite winter-like weather for most of the month!) There were quite a few fun 2-4 ft days and a couple of larger swells, including a April Fool’s Noreaster! With spring finally starting to warm up the [...]
Long…Long Island Winter
What a cold, and often flat winter we had here on Long Island. Despite some huge storms and record blizzards charging through the area we basically got skunked this winter…as did most of the East Coast for that matter! There were a few memorable moments sprinkled in though and our trip to the Outer Banks [...]

November’s best
It wasn’t a great month wave wise but there were a few standout days that produced some good surf in the beginning of the month. The fishing continued (just like October) to be outstanding. Here are some of the better shots for the month…. Hopefully December will have more barrels. Thanks for all the support [...]

A look back at some of shots from the old site. These shots cover much of the 2008-2009 seasons; including this shot of TK gettting shacked last winter on an outer bar pit.
