Where to surf in New Hampshire, USA
New Hampshire only has 17 miles of coastline, but it’s probably the most action-packed stretch of surf on the whole East Coast. The Wall is a super-consistent and powerful beachbreak, but it’s the surrounding reefs that are the real challenge. The concentration of rock-bottomed breaks like Rye, Linkys and Foxhill makes it possible for experienced surfers to ride a range of wave types from walled-up right points to hollow left reefs, with or without some company.

Visas
Due to Covid there are special restrictions so it is essential to check the latest news before booking any trip. Normally most Europeans, Aussies, Kiwis and Japanese are part of the Visa waiver program so do not need a visa to enter the USA for up to 90 days, but they do need to apply for ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) which costs US$14. Other nationalities need to check as the rules are constantly being adjusted.
Getting There
Fly to Boston and drive an hour up the coast.
Getting Around
NH may have a short coastlne but you will still need a car to get around and buses dont take boards.
Accommodation
Plenty of online rentals available in the Hampton area. Prices should fall if you aim for late Sept-Oct.
Activities
NH has some ski resorts a couple of hours inland, but elevation, snowfall and terrain mean you are probably better off in Vermont.
Hazards & hassles
The Wall concentrates the crowd. Parking at some spots is limited and/or expensive during tourist season.
Handy Hints
Plenty of surf shops - try Cinnamon Rainbows or Summer Sessions.
Due to global pandemic, Visas, Getting There, Getting Around or Accommodation information and pricing may have changed. Always check Government Travel Advice before travelling.
