Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Abels Hill on Martha’s Vineyard is a semi-exposed beach break that sees its best surf during the fall hurricane season and strong winter nor’easters, with September through November offering the most consistent clean waves. It performs best on south to southeast swells with offshore winds from the north to northwest, and mid tide on a rising tide typically provides the best shape. The waves can range from soft, fun peaks for longboarding to more powerful sections on bigger swells, though strong currents and shifting sandbars can affect consistency. Crowds are generally light, adding to its appeal for those seeking a quieter surf experience.
