The chilly northeast wind brought significant chop with the growing waves. These conditions will remain throughout the weekend and produce great surfing for monday through wednesday. 
An onshore breeze kicks up waves and strews the beach with flotsam for beachcombers and dog walkers. Gulls take advantage of the uplift along the dunes as they head north to fishing areas. Paraglider season has arrived.
Beautiful sunrises often reward those of us who get up early to visit beaches. This day (Aug 26th) provided long rides on backlit, waist high waves to those few who arrived ready to ride them. 
Just another sunrise in Wellfleet over Maguire's Landing. The waves are good this morning but still small at 3 ft.
Waist high waves and a brilliant sunrise make for another great day on the beach in Wellfleet. The beaches were filled up by lunch time yesterday so if you want to get a parking spot, show up early or have someone drop you off. Yesterday's waves were good at Marconi Beach. I walked north quite a distance and was rewarded with a break all to myself. Several sets were head high or more. I am so thankful for the professional instruction over the winter at Witch's Rock Surf Camp.
Early morning at Maguire's Landing in Wellfleet. The waves are flat and it looks like it will be hot with very little breeze. I've been surfing without a wetsuit lately and it's been comfortable. Too bad there are no waves today.
It's nice to have a crystal clear morning to view the sunrise. More people than I would have expected arrived to see it. This is my parting shot from the parking lot.
