Ten Foot Waves at Smith Point, Long Island, NY
Ben Vitale

Hurricane Juaqin which is currently off the coast of Long Island is causing some really big waves to break on Fire Island, Long Island, NY. I saw a few waves that were about Ten feet high; the media says that the waves were as high as 15 feet! Wow! (Left click the big arrow, and then left click the small arrow to see the video. You should also left click the small box on the lower right hand portion of the video, to get a full screen display! Once the video is over, press the Escape key to return to the normal screen size.) It is so nice to observe the awesome power of nature!

I did see a few people entering the water on their Surf Boards, who wanted to take advantage of the really big waves! The waves off of our Long Island beach looked more like the waves that you would find in Hawaii. Have fun and enjoy the video!
