Lineup Insights

The Wave

The wide, shifting sandbars at Nantasket move the best peaks day-to-day and can hide strong rips near the jetties.

When it works the swell typically arrives from the NE-E and cleans up under a W-WNW offshore breeze.

Mid-tide rising into high often produces the most organized peaks.

Lineup Guide

Expect variable takeoff zones and easy access from parking.
