About

It's the very first place I surfed, so I've got a soft spot for the place. There are better breaks on Cape Cod, but this one is almost as good as the rest.

Atmosphere:
Great, fun. The dunes are impressive, and you'll love carrying your board up the soft, 30-foot hill back to your car.

Morning tides (6am to 9am) are the least crowded, and totally beautiful. The beach is almost empty except for surfers, and folks walking their dogs.

Additional Info:
Use longboard or egg, when big use short board. It can get really, really crowded in the summer. It's an East Coast beach break--so we take what we can get. The locals are cool. There's not much wave here, so 30 surfers make a crowd.

Sandbars shift year to year, so wave quality is variable. In the late summer, the water gets warm enough that a full suit isn't necessary.
