The Wall is one of New Hampshire's most consistent surf spots, tucked along the short but scrappy stretch of coastline near Hampton Beach. Facing WNW into the Gulf of Maine, it picks up northeast swells generated by Atlantic storms and delivers punchy, fast-breaking waves that can surprise surfers with their power given the region's modest reputation. What makes this spot special is the seawall structure nearby that gives it its name, helping to focus wave energy and occasionally creating hollow, well-defined peaks on the right swell and tide combination.
