The Wave

Day-to-day shape swings: Long Sands picks up both NE and SE energy but cleans up best on a northwest offshore.

Rising tides generally open the bank while strong onshore winds make it mushy.

Lineup Guide

Rip channels and multiple peaks spread crowds along the mile-long sandbar and can produce powerful rips near the north end by the Nubble.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
