 Additional Information

Use longboard or egg, when big use short board. It can get really, really crowded in the summer. It's an East Coast beach break--so we take what we can get. The locals are cool. There's not much wave here, so 30 surfers make a crowd.

Sandbars shift year to year, so wave quality is variable. In the late summer, the water gets warm enough that a full suit isn't necessary.

Atmosphere

Great, fun. The dunes are impressive, and you'll love carrying your board up the soft, 30-foot hill back to your car.

Morning tides (6am to 9am) are the least crowded, and totally beautiful. The beach is almost empty except for surfers, and folks walking their dogs.

General

It's the very first place I surfed, so I've got a soft spot for the place. There are better breaks on Cape Cod, but this one is almost as good as the rest.

Surf Whitecrest - Pretty crowded in the afternoon. But empty at like 5 to 6 am and that's also when the waves are best!

wc - whitecrest is a great beach but it does get crouded so if you go around 5ish the waters a ton warmer dont even need a ws n if its after a storm wave r nice too

help for the CA surfer - The water will still be cold, maybe 4/3 boots and gloves, or maybe a warm 3/2 and boots. The surf is a crap shoot that time of year, could go off... could go flat. Bring your board though. Go see Matt at the Pump House Surf Shop in Orleans (508) 240-2226 if you need a long board or any other surf-related item. Good luck, hope you get some fun surf on Old Cape Cod
