Juan Heredia made the hike north from New York to hit one of Rhode Island’s best surf spots for the remnants left by Hurricane Michael.

The leftovers of Hurricane Michael pushed a nice swell up the East Coast to Rhode Island’s south shore on Oct. 12, and Ryan Campbell was among the many beneficiaries.

Barrels at Dusk

Brian Pernicone October 24, 2017

There were so many days full of killer waves during September's storm season off Rhode Island's south coast, but this particular day was my favorite. While there may have been bigger swells on other days, none compared to the clean waves and gorgeous golden hour light of Sept. 13, 2017.

We're now more than a week into the month of October and I can't tell you how many people are still asking me about September's incredible surf conditions.

By Popular Demand - Chris Maletta

I've never done this before, but because of the number of people who have contacted me about a shot from a previous blog, I'm devoting this gallery entirely to one surfer - Chris Maletta.

When September Ends

Brian Pernicone October 4, 2017

There's no doubt this was a September to remember. New England was spared the worst as several storms stayed out to sea, but those storms sent massive swells to the southern Rhode Island coast.

The waves have been up in Narragansett, R.I.

Swell People

Brian Pernicone September 27, 2017

Tourists flock to Southern Rhode Island every summer to enjoy the weather, the quality restaurants, the local retail shops and, of course, the beautiful beaches. It is not, however, a typical location for flocks of wave chasers, surfers constantly chasing the next swell.

Summer Surge

Brian Pernicone August 31, 2017

A strong summer swell kicked up some decent surf Wednesday, Aug. 30, 2017, in Narragansett, R.I., so grabbed my gear and headed to one of the local surf spots to capture the action.

Storm Surge

Brian Pernicone March 16, 2017

Winter Storm Stella was a dud from a snow perspective, but she brought with her a massive surge of double-overhead waves that sent barrel after barrel breaking off Monahan's Dock in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. At least two dozen surfers were in the water at any given time despite frigid temperatures that struggled to reach 20 degrees. One surfer left the water with ice covering his beard, but that didn't stop him from catching a few sweet rides.
