Sachuset Bay and Brenton Point
Went down to take some pics of the surf today. Only saw a couple of people fishing.

there are some locals who will go out straight off of Ledge Road and surf the huge waves that develop around storms several hundred yards out, they head out on jet skis and tow the surfer into the wave...it's quite a sight to behold

There's a kid who work's at Zeek's Creek in JTN. He gets towed by boat or jet ski and surfs off Hull Cove. Crazy....

I'm curious as to whether Sachuest will be an Island after this...
The ocean has been pushing hard the past few weather events on the thinnest part that connects to Sachuest.
There is almost no beach at 2nd right now.

Sachuest is still attached. Can't quite assess the extent of the damage to the dunes, but even from the hill at Surfer's End it's obvious they took quite a beating.

Your right, at the bar by high head. I thought they were birds from a distance one year. I soon wished they were

The first time I saw these images I didn't even recognize what I was looking at. Road to Sachuest Point is officially closed until further notice.
Images are from RIDOT's aerial assessment: Hurricane Sandy in Rhode Island - October 2012

The road is blocked off at the campground, which looked untouched and the end of the road was the worst. It was good to see all the locals walking around....
