Lynne Beach is a long, flat stretch of sand located in the Swampscott area, close to Nahant Beach. It offers a laid-back vibe and is perfect for surfers looking for a quieter spot. This beach generally sees a few more surfers at the north end, especially near Kings Beach when strong northeastern winds are blowing. The area provides a decent option for surf when other spots are less appealing.

The surf at Lynne Beach is mostly hit or miss, mainly depending on a big nor’easter wrapping around the region. The optimal swell direction is from the Northeast, with also decent waves coming from the Southeast. This place can handle swell sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and typically features both left and right waves breaking over the sandy bottom. During the right conditions, you'll find weak but lined-up swells producing fat, crumbly peaks, which can be fun for a casual session. For the best experience, aim for low to mid tide, and keep an eye on wind from the Northwest as it tends to work well here.

Lynne Beach isn't known for heavy crowds, making it a great spot if you're looking to catch some waves without feeling packed in. It has a weekly consistency that just qualifies as high and is less crowded compared to spots further south. If you're in the area and conditions are right, it can be worth a look.
