For those who didn’t notice, we had a major turn in the weather last week. If you’re a sun worshipper down for a few weekends a year, it hasn’t been exactly epic. But for surfers and those of us who like sleeping with the windows open, well, we can live with it.

Following a flip-flop melting heatwave and a nothing-short-of-pleasant water temp, the weather changed drastically at the end of July, ushering in much cooler temps and last weekend’s summer nor’easter.
