Rhode Trip

Jose, who you may know from his photography during our last good swell, came a long with me to Rhode Island.  He was a little skeptical about this spot we told him about, but was amazed at how good it was.  the wind was hard offshore, and the waves were FIRING.  By the end of the session at this crowded "secret" spot, the waves had picked up more than two feet.  There were the occasional closeout sets that no one made it over, but overall it was fun.

To sum it up: We went to Rhode Island and we scored... HARD.

You know when there is a solid swell when the left at Point Judith is closing out

Keep in mind, that outer break is a half-mile away.  When you see a 15 footer barrel off at the entrance to the harbor, it just makes you wish you had a jet-ski.

This is normally flat when it is chest-high

The dots are surfers, and this is one of the smaller sets of the day.

Sandy Cont.

I honestly shouldn't be hyping about this swell as I am, but when three different websites are calling for double-overhead surf, it's hard not to.  I am hoping to get some good surf tomorrow in RI, then catch the main bulk of the swell in NH on Monday.  If this swell truly is this big, then we may see one of the only "real" big-wave sessions of the year...

Throwback

Here are a few shots from April vacation of last year. We had a ton of good waves and it was super sick. The blog has been pretty slow lately because of lots of homework and lack of waves but hopefully we will be back in full swing highlighting all the waves we get from Hurricane Sandy. These pics are from of some of the many rippable days over our spring break.

Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy is heading our way as you read this. It is expected to be one of the largest storms in quite a while. They are predicting massive open oceans wells up to 70 with waves at beaches exceeding 15 feet. Sandy could be one of our best swells in a while so dust off that old gun and get ready. I will have a more in depth report soon. -Lars

Going Places

Cable Crew Chronicles was born 6 months ago at the hands of Carson and I. Our goal was not to become a web sensation but an interesting site with lots of pics and writing about surf in NH and more specifically the beach at cable. I just got the new Eastern Surf Magazine and there is a small paragraph about our crew and the blog. It's not much but I guess it means were going places. Hopefully every out there is enjoying it and we are working to become even more appealing to all sorts of ocean enthusiasts. Make sure you check out the new ESM and keep coming back to the blog, we have a sick winter ahead of us! -Lars

John

Check out this sick photo of Cable Crew member John on a glassy Sunday swell!  Looking forward to more of this in the winter, but add about a foot of snow, and drop forty degrees...

We Are Ready

Winter needs to come. This is my least favorite part of the year. Sure there is swell but there is no snow or warm sunshine. But winter is close, we can feel it. Leaves are falling and the water is getting colder. Here is 2 pictures of me going straight on a 1 footer, covered in neoprene, in every New England surfers favorite season. -Lars
