Hi Jasonpopoloski, welcome to Surfing Waves,
Someone who visits or has visited the site at some point does. They've added
Nahant on the surf map. I don't know who that was though.
Best of luck finding someone to surf with.

I surf at The Wall....
How is Nahant? Do you get at least 2ft waves at least once a week?

yeah, I try to go once a week, mostly on weekends. I'm about to switch from my 4mm to my 6mm hooded wetsuit - though it's kind of old and probably not as effective as a new 5mm would be.
Right now I am lucky as I live close to NH and The Wall is the most consistent /popular break N of Boston but if I choose to move further south but still on the N Shore I might have to find another break.

I usually stay in the Nahant area. I went to Deveraux Beach in Marblehead last weekend. Ended up cracking a spot in my nose all the way down to the foam so until i get better im going to stay away from that place. looking to surf where the bottom is mostly sand which is why i like Kings Beach in the Nahant area

Haha that's a bit far in the future for Magic Seaweed to get it right. Let's catch up day before

I'm not very adventurous so I only surfed beach breaks with sand bottoms. Though my plastic board could probably take a rock or two and only dent a bit

Cool videos. I was going to hit the beach this weekend but looking at the magicseaweed app makes me want to sit these weekend out. I also may have to wait until Sunday until my board is ready to go. I want to go the weekend after. What size board do you surf on. Is it a 10 ft longboard or do you ride something shorter

I'd check both surfline and magicseaweed and kind of average them

I have a 7'9" Minimal as my main driver, I don't have room for anything longer unfortunately.

What a learning opportunity, if you become surf buddies, maybe between you get a video camera and do shoot from land shot to help us advise you with tips on what get be improved. You also end up with an ever improving brag page

AND, If there ever was a spot with a good camera angle/vantage point, The Wall is it.
