Spot Guide
Cape Ann in Massachusetts is a rugged granite headland north of Boston that picks up powerful nor'easter swells funneling down from the Gulf of Maine, producing punchy, hollow waves along its rocky points and coves. The NNW-facing exposure means it lights up when northeast storms push energy down the coast, with waves that can range from fun chest-high peaks to heaving overhead sets during prime fall and winter swells. The dramatic New England scenery and consistent swell exposure make it a favorite among dedicated Massachusetts surfers willing to brave the cold North Atlantic waters.
