Spot Guide
Scarborough Beach in Maine is a classic New England beach break that picks up south to southeast swells funneling into Saco Bay, producing mellow, rolling waves well-suited for beginners and longboarders. The spot faces NNW, meaning it is sheltered from direct open-ocean hammering but catches refracted swell energy that wraps into the bay, keeping conditions manageable even on bigger swell days. Fall is prime time here when hurricane-season groundswells combine with offshore winds and thinning crowds to deliver some of the best surf Maine has to offer.

Dawn patrol is the move — 3-4ft on SSE swell at 8s with glassy conditions. Size drops off to 2-3ft by the afternoon.
A slow one — 0-1ft waves and poor conditions with calm winds.
Pretty quiet out there — 1-2ft and mostly poor with barely a breath of wind.
Skip the dawn patrol — 2-3ft and poor early on. Afternoon shapes up better with 2-3ft and poor - fair conditions.
