Additional Surfing Infos |
| | This is a great spot at low to medium tide.. fun local scene. its usually small and beach breaky, but it can get epic to well over 10 feet in the winter. there is no surfing during buisness hours during the summer, but during the off-season its fair game. park in the pay lot or along bass rocks road during the off season.. cross the footbridge onto the beach and rip

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
I dont know much about the Gloucester surf scene anymore.. i moved out a few years ago and have only been back for day trips. its probably still the same.. 20 or 30 people who are always in the lineup when its happening, always quick to help (especially if you are a chick) there was a surf shop here for a couple seasons run by the local surf king.. last i heard Jimbo had moved to NYC. |
| |
General |
This is a special place. its one of only a few good breaks in the area and the scenery is incredible. amazing sunsets, cold water, the occasional seal, and capable of generating some epic surf when the conditions are right |

Awesome longboarding
Great day. Looked deceiving at first. Looked really choppy, the wave periods were probably 4 seconds.But when I went in, they were fairly powerful for their size.When low-tide went to high-tide, the breaks were long and good. When high went to low, t
