Massachusetts Surf Breaks
Flat, long shoreline with clean rights and lefts along a three mile stretch of easily accessible waves. Easy to find an open spot even on a crowded day. Local ground swells bring consistent waves, especially in fall.....Stacey Mac
The setup of beaches in Massachusetts would make you think there's an endless array of breaks although waves can be very few and far between. Nantucket and Martha tend to get the best of what's on offer although localism and access can be a problem.
