Salisbury Beach surf guide

Salisbury Beach is a well-known surf spot located in Massachusetts. It faces northeast, making it a good choice for surfers looking to catch some waves. The beach is accessible and tends to have a relaxed vibe, which can be a nice change from more crowded surf locations. There are also camping facilities available in the nearby Salisbury Beach State Reservation, providing a convenient spot for those looking to stay close to the waves.

This spot will mainly pick up swells from the northeast, but it can also handle swells coming from the southeast. Salisbury Beach works best when there’s a north swell, and it can handle swell sizes starting from 2 ft (0.6 m) all the way up. The waves generally break over sand, providing both left and right-hand waves. For optimal surfing conditions, a SW wind is preferred, and the beach is surfable on all tides, although low to high tide tends to be better for bigger and more powerful waves.

Surfing at Salisbury Beach is usually not too crowded, even in the summer. However, you should keep in mind that there are some surfing restrictions from 9 AM to 5 PM during this season. This means early morning or later evening sessions are great options to avoid the crowd and enjoy a more peaceful experience. If you’re looking for a spot to kick back and catch some waves, Salisbury Beach is definitely worth a visit.
