                SURFING PINE POINT
            
                Pine Point Beach sits at the top of a 7-mile long crescent-shaped sandy beach. It is generally more sheltered than Higgins Beach, its neighbor to the North, making it a favorite for longboarders and cleaner conditions on massive days.
            
            IDEAL BREAK CONDITIONS
        
                    IDEAL SWELL DIRECTION
                
                    BEST: Southeast (SE)

                    GOOD: East-Southeast (ESE)
                
                    Pine Point needs a bit of angle to get into the bay. A South swell often bypasses it, while a pure East or Northeast swell can sometimes get blocked by Cape Elizabeth.
                
                    IDEAL WIND DIRECTION
                
                    OFFSHORE (BEST): NW or W

                    SIDESHORE: SW (light ok, face bumps)

                    ONSHORE (AVOID): E or S (chop/blown out)
                
                    THE BEST TIDE
                
                    Low to Mid-Tide (Incoming)
                
                    Pine Point is famous for mushing out at high tide as waves lose breaking power against deep water.
                
                    SWEET SPOT: 2 hours before low tide to 2 hours after.
                
                LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
            
                PRO TIP
            
                If Pine Point looks flat but you see lines moving in the distance, check back as the tide drops! Low tide brings out hidden sandbars that turn small swells into rideable waves.
