Comments: The Cape is consistently bigger and more powerful than many New England spots, the only exception being on swells with a lot of south in them (SSE to WSW). The spots listed below are good places to start your search for the best Cape waves. Which spots are best will depend on the constantly shifting sandbars (spots that are good one day may suck after a big swell or storm). During the summer many of the beaches listed get crowded and charge for parking so you may want to explore.
Hazards: Very strong currents when the surf is big Localism: Close to none. Parking: Beach lots
