Cape Cod Surf Report and Forecast


Swellinfo surf forecasts

Checking out Cape Cod surf
Cape Cod has 25 miles of beach breaks running from Orleans to Truro. These beaches are fully exposed to swell from N through E to SSE and receive wrap around swell from SSW. Summer waves are typically in the knee to waist high range with water temps fluctuating from the mid 50's (fahrenheit) when there's a strong offshore wind, to 70 when the air is warm and the wind is calm. In winter locals surf in water temps as low as 34 degrees. The best conditions occur when low pressure systems follow the Gulf Stream into offshore waters. When everything falls into place the Cape can enjoy clean, hollow double overhead waves and relatively warm water. This happens most often during the fall. Crowds are generally friendly, but locals do like their space. The good thing about Cape Cod is that there's almost always an empty spot to surf a little ways down the beach.

Bass and bluefish swim near shore. Whales can sometimes be seen from the lineup. Seals are common. Every now and then those toothy things that feed on seals make an appearance.
