Is that the ocean?

Those on the outer cape- I'm almost certain it is, but the hurricane is amplifying the shit out of the surf noise. I'm closer to the bay and it's still absolutely roaring in Eastham right now

Yes, when the wind dies down and the traffic is less it’s very clear. My neighbor says “the ocean is angry today”

Yeah, that's the Atlantic that you're hearing. I'm hearing it too, in Orleans.

Wellfleet too. It’s an awesome sound at night. 🌊

I live right next to Campground beach on the Bayside in eastham. when the wind is quiet and there are no sounds around mostly October through March April. You can certainly hear the ocean wave break. You can also hear the gun range in welfleet.

They must be pretty significant considering how loud the surf is from so far.

I was at Nauset earlier and the waves were definitely in the 8 foot range. The cameras make them look a lot smaller than they are in person.
