Fall Tubes in NY, September 2023

June 8, 2024 Dion Mattison

A little mash up of a few tubes I got surfing in NY in September 2023. These are all from unnamed swell events. These are usually better for us than storms that have names because they're closer to land and therefore the interval stays below 10 seconds. All of these days had intervals in the 8-10 second range and wave heights (on the buoys) at 6-8ft from E, NE, ENE, and ESE. Overally the swell was pretty steeply angled from the E and NE due to the early season Noreaster we had that came after Tropical Storm Ophelia. The water is warm but the wind was cold so that is why I'm often in a hood. All the suits are 3mm or 3/2mm. I'm riding my 5'3" Barahona retro fish (yellow) and 5'5" Barahona modern fish (stripes). Filming from land by @mgbruno with my Olympus OM-D 1 and filming from the water by me with my GoPro Hero Black 11 using a handle cam. I paddle into the wave with the handle in my mouth then pull it out of my mouth as soon as I've made the drop. I shoot in 1080p at 30fps just for ease of use editing in iMovie.
