Located in Northern Maine, Reid State Park is a fun beach break that thunders over a rock and sand bottom. The waves here can be steep and fast, breaking for up to 150 meters and serving up some great hollow sections to find barrels in.
What are the best surf conditions for Reid State Park?
Gets good from chest high to double overhead. The best board here is always a shortboard to make the takeoff. This break is best suited to intermediate and advanced surfers. The surf here is consistent (7/10) and is generally uncrowded (4/10). The best winds are from the North, Northwest, and West. The best swells are from the North, Northeast, and East. Works best on a mid to high tide.
We recommend wearing a 3/2 wetsuit in the summer when water temperatures rise to 18 degrees. In the winter a 5/4 is necessary for the 3-degree water. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
