Ok that makes sense......thank you.

Just saw the vids.....those are great....those waves looked slower than what we had on Saturday (could just be a perception thing). However, it was a 10.9 foot high tide....does a tide this High effect the wave in terms of making it faster and less retentive or is it all the same. It would occur to me that a lower high tide means there is less volume of water trying to make it's way through the harbor resulting in a friendlier wave. Thanks

Thanks for all the replies......ice was not a factor.....little here and there that you had to play Frogger with. High tide was at 1219 and we were surfing at 1000....the best wave must of been about 1015-1030.

Rob, Seabrook sounds interesting....I will have to check that out.

Cohasset was fun....fast wave and not all that rententive compared to the way it was. Surfed in a Jackson Karma Rock Garden. My partner was in a ww boat and had a lot of difficulty getting on. Any good tidal rips on the North Shore?.......please advise. Thank you.

Excellent thank you!

One more question.........anyone have luck surfing this with long boats? I've only played there in ww boats. Not sure what the fun factor will be with a 16 footer........more retentive....less.........?????

Okay will do thanks. Looking for company if anyone wants to meet up.

Anyone know if this is still a blast.....thinking about heading down saturday with a new boat......used to live in Cohasset and had a lot of fun there in the early 90's.

Yes I tried that....Paul St. Germain the Assoc. President felt as though it would be best if we did not camp off season. We'll find a spot I am sure. Thanks for the replies all.

I could do that....was more interested in killing time out there and goofmg around a bunch.

Thank Rob

New to the board. Planning a two day trip around Cape Ann on May 11 and 12. We were planning on camping at Thatchers, but they do not open until June. Does anyone know if we can camp there during the off season. We do not need any facilities and we are carry in/ carry out. Also, does anyone know of a different spot to camp.....even if it is right on the beach? Thank you kindly.
