Surf Check: South Shore, Saturday

The storm from Friday was still touching us on Saturday morning. We headed out to investigate. 

We started in Hull.

Why the Hull not?

The ocean started getting after us, so we fled to Cohasset.

Cohasset gets the short stick in our Surf Check series. This is mostly because Cohasset is one of those South Shore towns where you're 15 minutes from the next town. 15 minutes is a lifetime when everyone has high tide at the same time. By contrast, I can get from where I shoot in Marshfield to where I shoot in Duxbury in 10 minutes, and that includes stopping for breakfast.

We'll show Cohasset more love in the future.

Next stop, Scituate.

We did a different part of Scituate yesterday, so today we headed over to Old Scituate Light.

We hit Scituate at high tide.

Sea spray is essential if you want your house to look nautical.

Heading south, into Marshfield.

I think we're in Fieldston here, village boundaries are sort of funny.

We were in Ocean Bluff yesterday, so we tried a different neighborhood.

We were about a half hour after high tide.

We went from Vegas to Duxbury Beach.

It's never good when the interior streets are flooded.

...or when that walkway is supposed to be paved rather than beachy.

We were at the DBC almost an hour after high tide, but I needed a linguica bagel and, goddamnit, I had one.

It's tough to see, but the waves were undermining the seawall here.

The tide tonight could also be entertaining. If you need laughs, watch Stephen get soaked, below:

Tides later this week will be in the 11 foot range, so we were lucky with the timing of this storm.

We're finishing up in Plymouth.

Manomet is about where Nor'easter Alley ends, although you could end It in Duxbury or stretch it to Sandwich if you wanted.

See you next time!
