Rexhame is a mellow beachbreak tucked along the South Shore of massachusetts, facing WSW into Massachusetts Bay and picking up groundswells that wrap around the Cape. The waves here tend to be forgiving and mushy, making it a favorite among longboarders and beginners looking to improve their skills in a less intense environment. Fall is the prime season when late-season hurricanes and nor'easters pump consistent S to SSE groundswells through the bay, offering the cleanest and most shapely conditions.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Rexhame is 1-2ft with a 8.8s swell period. Wind is SSW at 13mph and conditions are rated Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Rexhame is 1-2ft, produced by a 1ft E primary swell at 9s, a 0.9ft ESE secondary swell at 6s, a 0.2ft E tertiary swell at 13s, a 0.5ft SSW wind swell swell at 2s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
Based on the current 5-day forecast, the best window to surf Rexhame is Friday from 1 PM to 4 PM with 2ft waves, a 8.7s swell period, and conditions rated Poor. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
