Wells Beach surfspot characteristics

More about Wells Beach surfspot

Tidy, all tides beachbreak peaks similar to Moody or Main Beach to the south. Usually a bit smaller and cleaner. Mid incoming and a NW wind is the best bet.

General: Wells Beach, from Mile Road north to the Harbor Jetty, just east of the town of Wells, is a quality strip of coast offering fun peaks for surfers of all abilities. Due to the fact that it faces a little more south than nearby Ogunquit, a S swell can show more here and the waves can handle a hint of northerly wind. Some locals consistently surf the south side of the jetty, but if you're looking for a peak all to yourself, just take that walk south. During a good swell, especially during a hurricane, Wells can pump out fun, hollow surf. Tides: Incoming Size: Head high-couple feet overhead Wind: WNW Swell: SE Bottom: Sand Paddling: Pretty mellow in the summer but much worse in the winter when cold water and air necessitate full winter gear. Spot Rating: Can be fun with the right combination of swell, wind and tide.
