Ash Point is a rocky point break located on Maine's midcoast, offering peeling waves that wrap around the granite-studded shoreline. The westward-facing exposure captures southern and southwestern swells while the rocky point formation creates defined wave corridors with reasonable shape and consistency. This quieter spot rewards patient surfers with quality shape during autumn swells when Atlantic storms align with favorable offshore easterly winds.
