Spot Guide
Wells Beach is a accessible sandy beach break on Maine's southern coast that picks up swell from Atlantic nor'easters and occasional hurricane swells, offering forgiving peaks across a wide sandy bottom. The beach's orientation facing west-northwest means it works best with northeasterly swells that wrap around the coastline, creating mellow, rolling waves ideal for learning and progression. This family-friendly break benefits from consistent autumn storms and provides a mellow introduction to New England surfing with plenty of shoulder season options.
