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 :lol:

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 :lol:

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