Today

More S/SE windswell expected from strong southerly winds. Winds improve near sunset.

Afternoon Outlook: Surf continues to builds and is now around stomach-chest high for top exposures midday. S/SSW winds continue most of the afternoon, but we see conditions improve some before dark as winds go more W. It is a tight window, but worth targeting for a few decent waves.

Gooch's Beach Surf Guide

The best seasons for waves here are fall and winter, but waves can be had year-round at Gooch's. During a nor'easter, Gooch's orientation favors both S swell and N wind directions, making it one of the rare clean options in the area. Although the waves may be smaller than in nearby York, their quality is far superior. The waves are generally steep, fast, sometimes hollow, and can dish out a solid thumping. Read more
