Popham Beach Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Popham Beach in Maine is a fairly exposed beach break that works best with offshore winds from the northwest. It receives a mix of groundswells and windswells, with the ideal swell direction coming from the southeast. The beach offers both left and right-hand waves and remains uncrowded even when the surf is up. Surfers should be cautious of rocks. The best conditions occur when a southeast swell combines with offshore winds from the northwest, making autumn—especially November—the prime time for consistent, clean waves.
