Head of the Meadow Beach

📍 Local Knowledge

Head of the Meadow Beach in Truro, Cape Cod, is an exposed beach break that offers consistent surf throughout the year, with fall bringing the most reliable clean swells thanks to a mix of hurricane activity and nor’easters. It performs best on east to northeast swells with offshore winds from the west or northwest, and mid to high tide often provides optimal shape. Waves can range from mellow longboard-friendly peelers to heavier, more powerful beach break barrels during larger swells, making it a versatile spot for different skill levels. While generally less crowded than some Cape Cod beaches, it can see a local presence when conditions align.
