Moody Beach is a sandy stretch tucked along the southern Maine coastline near Wells, facing WNW into the Gulf of Maine and picking up northeast and east swells that wrap into the bay. Waves here tend to be mellow and forgiving, making it a welcoming spot for beginners and longboarders looking to enjoy uncrowded lineups in a stunning New England setting. Fall delivers the most consistent surf as Atlantic storms push clean groundswells up the coast, and the crisp Maine air adds to the raw, adventurous feel of surfing this quiet beach.
