📍 Local Knowledge

Short Sands Beach in Maine is an exposed beach break with fairly reliable surf, best during spring and winter. It works well with northeast swells and offshore winds from the southwest, producing both left and right-hand waves across all tide stages. The spot is rarely crowded, but surfers should watch out for rips, rocks, and pollution. The best time for clean, rideable waves is in spring, particularly in May.
