Longnook to Ballston Beach surf guide

Longnook to Ballston Beach is a stretch of coastline located on Cape Cod, providing a mix of surf spots that cater to different skill levels. The area is usually not crowded, making it a chill place to enjoy some time in the water. Access can be a bit tricky, especially in the busy summer months when parking is limited, so getting there early is a good idea to secure your spot.

The surf here mainly works best with a Northeast swell, but you can also catch rides with North and Southeast swells. This spot can handle swell sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and typically offers beach breaks that can go either left or right. Low to mid tides are ideal for surfing, especially when the winds are coming from the Southwest. It's worth noting that the curve of Cape Cod can limit the quality of the surf, particularly with strong northwest winds that can make conditions choppy. On better days, you might even find some decent setups on the less battered sandbars.

As you move north along this stretch, be mindful of the extreme currents that can pick up closer to the northern tip of Cape Cod. If you're looking for a place to windsurf, this area can be more manageable during larger southeast swells. Overall, it's a good spot for surfers looking for an uncrowded experience, especially if you catch it on a favorable day.
