Part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, Coast Guard Beach offers mellow waves over shifting sandbars and is popular with beginners and families. The break works best on northeast‑to‑southeast swells with southwest to west‑northwest winds and low to mid tides.
At low to mid tide the small waves are perfect for learning; experienced surfers head to Nauset for more power.
Low–mid tide, SW–WNW wind, 2–4 ft NE–SE swell
