A lot of excellent surfing videos have been showing up on Vimeo lately. This is defintely one of them.
Surfline just posted a bunch of aerial shots of some spots in New England going off from the Hurricane Bill swell.
This one of Point Judith, Rhode Island is my favorite. Click the image for the larger version and you can see the surfers in the water and the spectators all along the point.
More shots on Surfline.

Finally some good footage of NY from this past weekend.
Chunky right bowling up in Belmar, NJ on Sunday 8/23/2009. Despite what you see, this spot was a zoo. About 50 guys dropping in on each other into gnarly closeouts.
ESM compiled a pretty sick gallery from this past weekend from up and down the east coast with some sick shots from the Northeast. Check it out here.
"In my eyes, Hurricane Bill definitely did not live up to the hype. But it was a very solid swell; out in Montauk, there were easily 10 to 15-foot faces, clean offshore winds, super warm water… about as good as New York gets in the summer. But it’s nothing I’m gonna remember 10 years from now. And the crowds were absolutely ridiculous — guys who’ve lived here for 30 years said they’ve never seen it like that, ever. Hundreds of guys in the water, hundreds of people on the beach… the forecasters really hyped this swell up when they shouldn’t have. Rockaway and NJ were both closed to surfing when they shouldn’t have been, either, because we get way bigger waves in the winter."

The waves from Bill start to show in St. Augustine, Florida.
Montauk, New York
this is the first wave we saw when we rolled up to New Jersey Sunday morning. I ran very quickly back to the truck.
