Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Nahant Beach in Massachusetts is an exposed beach break that usually has waves, though summer tends to be mostly flat. It works best with east-northeast swells and offshore winds from the west, offering both left and right-hand waves and performing best around low tide. The spot can get crowded when the surf is up, with some shelter from south winds. The prime time for consistent, clean waves is during autumn, especially in September.
