About Ogunquit Surf Travel
The Ogunquit Rivermouth is the best-known break in Maine. The wave breaks off Lobster Point and produces long, workable rights and fast, inside lefts. The quality of the wave varies with swell direction and the shifting sand bottom — it works well up to a few feet overhead, after which large waves tend to get mushy as they start cresting on the outer shoal. At that point, many of the locals head up to Kennebunkport.
Blending into — that is: feeling, or looking like, a local — in the lineup is an impossible task here, unless you are one. This is such a small community that everyone knows everyone else by name, board and what they drive. So if you’re not feeling like intruding, look slightly to the north of the rivermouth: the main beach provides plenty of peaks, all relatively crowd-free, and isn’t so local-centric. Why hassle with a crowd when this pristine, mile-long strip of beach offers lots of fun waves? It breaks through most any tide, except absolute high.
