Revere Beach is New England's oldest public beach, stretching along the Massachusetts coastline just north of Boston, and it picks up northeast swells that funnel through Massachusetts Bay with surprising consistency. The waves here tend to be mellow and forgiving, making it a great entry point for beginner surfers looking to get their feet wet in the New England surf scene. Fall brings the best combo of hurricane-generated swells and manageable winds, turning this urban beach into a genuinely fun spot with long, rolling waves across its wide sandy bottom.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Revere Beach is 0-1ft with a 4s swell period. Wind is E at 3mph. Conditions are rated Very Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Revere Beach is 0-1ft, produced by a 2ft ESE wind swell swell at 4s, a 1.5ft ESE secondary swell at 9s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
Based on the current 5-day forecast, the best window to surf Revere Beach is Friday from 6 AM to 9 AM with 2ft waves, a 6.1s swell period, and conditions rated Poor - Fair. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
Revere Beach works best with a NE swell and W winds. Offshore winds groom the face of the wave, while onshore winds turn it sloppy. Cross-offshore conditions usually produce the cleanest shape.
Tide plays a big role at Revere Beach. Mid tide works for most beach breaks, while reef and point breaks often prefer higher or lower stages. Use the tide chart above to line up your session with the swell peak.

Our Revere Beach forecast uses NOAA GFS and other weather models combined with spot-specific bathymetry to calculate breaking wave heights. Short-range (1-3 day) forecasts are most reliable; extended forecasts show general trends. We also verify our offshore swell predictions against NOAA buoy measurements daily — see our accuracy page for those swell-verification metrics (buoys measure open-water swell, not breaking surf size).
