Squibnocket is a rugged, remote point break tucked into the southwestern corner of Martha's Vineyard, massachusetts, where the Atlantic delivers powerful, well-shaped waves over a cobblestone and rocky bottom. The spot faces northwest into Vineyard Sound's fetch and picks up south to southwest swells wrapping around the island's southwestern tip, producing punchy, hollow rides that reward surfers who make the trek to this secluded corner. Its relative inaccessibility keeps crowds minimal, making it a prized find for those willing to explore the Vineyard's wilder coastline.
