Kennebunk Beach

Kennebunk Beach is a surf spot located in Maine, USA Northeast. The spot provides both left and right waves. It’s a sand bottom beach break that works best on medium and high tides. The surf here is suitable for all levels of experience and has a regular frequency. The wave length is typically less than 50m. Kennebunk Beach usually sees few surfers in the lineup. The spot is known for its rocks, so be cautious when surfing. During summer, parking is restricted to residents only, but it’s free during winter. The waves can be brown and heavy, but the spot can offer semi-clean conditions when the wind is strong from the northeast or north-northeast, as it faces south. This orientation can make it a good option when other spots are blown out. Kennebunk Beach is part of the town of Kennebunk, which has a rich history dating back to 1621. The town’s name, according to Abenaki peoples, means ‘the long cut bank,’ likely referring to the long bank behind the beach. Nearby surf spots include Timber Island, Wells Beach, Ogunquit Beach, Ogunquit Rivermouth, and Higgins Beach. When planning your surf session, it’s important to check the surf forecast and report for up-to-date conditions.
