Scituate Harbor surf guide

Scituate Harbor is a surf spot located on the south side of Scituate Harbor, known for its long left point break. This spot breaks over boulders and can be a fun place to catch some waves. While it can get a bit crowded, especially in the summer, the vibe here remains pretty chill compared to other areas. The surf tends to be more user-friendly in the winter months, with fewer surfers around and free access.

The outside break is generally easy and slow, making it a good spot for beginners or those looking for a relaxing session. As you move in closer, the waves can get a little steeper and may even be hollow at times. It's best to hit Scituate Harbor with a swell from the east, as it can handle swell sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and is more consistent with northeast or southeast swells. A northwest wind is ideal for clean conditions, while a low to mid tide is preferable for the best ride.

Be cautious of the environment here; the currents can be strong with some good rips, and there's often a bit of estuary outflow to deal with. While it's a decent breaking spot when conditions align, high tide can make the surf pretty miserable. If you're looking for options, other nearby spots occasionally deliver good waves, but Scituate Harbor remains a reliable choice when the conditions are right.
