Cohasset Tidal Rip

Is Cohasset dead? I took some video is to help people decide if Cohasset is 'broken'. This video was taken on a 10.5 foot tide, early in the session when the wave was still moderate. I hadn't been there in years and am not very good. The first half of the tape has some surfs and the second half has a swim incident and a bunch of failures to attain the wave, in case you want to see all the ways you can miss. My verdict is the wave is still just hard to get on, as I always remember it was. Bring a long or big boat and be in the water 3 hrs before high tide. The wave flattens out 1 hour before high tide, which is when you go practice squirts farther down the gulf.

A more modern way to plan a session is to look at the exact tide chart online. http://www.tides4fishing.com/us/massachusetts/cohasset-harbor-white-head
Too low a tide may not be enough and a really big tide may shorten the session because the spot blows out. If roughly one wants to be in the water prior to the start at 5' and the spot starts getting blown out at 9', then a high supermoon tide (-0.7 to 11) only has a bit more than a 1 hour window and an above average tide (0.6 to 9.6) has a window of almost 2 hours. 9.6 foot tide was plenty big, so this may be ideal for a longer session.
