Atmosphere
This spot is very shallow and ledgy. Once it gets over 6 feet experts only. The wave refracts off the wall and gets real wedgy and super hollow. you can get a pretty good tube ride on a 3-4 foot day! be careful

Whoever wrote this, stop writing things you dont know. - Please explain to me how anywhere in NH, let alone the whole entire east coast can recieve "- NorthWest
- West
- SouthWest" swells. you should keep to yourself kid.

BS - the kid who did the write up on this spot sucks at surfing and has never surfed here. He mostly just takes videos. the reason it barrels is because it breaks into 2 feet of water over rocks. if that sounds like a good time to you then hit it up but after surfing here i wouldn't go back. most of the time it closes out so you wont be making many barrels

Aww, come on Nickyg u should've kept ur mouth shut whilst looking dumb instead of opening it & removing all doubt! - Nowhere on the WHOLE ENTIRE east coast can pick up 'west' swell action would be true if it weren't for the wall at this beach. I'll break it down for u like a fraction: the south side of Boars head actually faces south; so the cross-wave effect actually comes from the WEST u IDIOT!!
