Hurricane Teddy underwent extra-tropical transition to a strong 951 mb storm well off shore in the Gulf of Maine before moving north north towards Halifax, Nova Scotia. This powerful cyclone coincided with astronomically high tides. Although winds were offshore, large, long period swell entered the Gulf of Maine leading to splash-over along the southern coast of Maine.
