Lucy Vincent is a protected beach break on Martha's Vineyard's south shore that catches southern Atlantic swell and produces consistent, peeling waves ideal for intermediate surfers. The sandy bottom and gradual slope create forgiving conditions, though the beach's popular status and limited access mean you'll share the lineup during good conditions. Fall delivers the most reliable swell and favorable offshore winds from the northwest.
