Gooch's Beach is a charming sandy stretch in Kennebunk, Maine, facing nearly due north toward the open Atlantic, where easterly and northeasterly swells wrap into the bay to produce mellow, rolling waves ideal for beginners and longboarders. The cold Maine waters and rugged New England coastline give this spot a raw, uncrowded character that appeals to surfers seeking solitude over performance. Fall delivers the most consistent surf as Atlantic storm systems push clean groundswells toward the beach, though the water temperature demands a quality wetsuit year-round.
