Higgins Beach Current Conditions Summary

Higgins Beach in Scarborough, ME is a beach break. Current conditions: 2.7 ft waves, sw 5–10 mph (cross-shore), rising. Size is there, but cross-shore wind affects quality. Higgins Beach is a southeast‑facing stretch that picks up tropical storm and nor'easter swells. On SE swells the point holds bigger waves and offers longer rides; the beach peaks are fun for beginners and work best on mid tide.
