Boston Surf Alerts

If it’s worth paddling out, we tell you.

We check conditions at Boston-area surf breaks and text you when the waves are good.

Why alerts?

Boston surf is weird.

The cam looks flat while thigh-high sets roll in. The forecast says poor but the beach tells a different story.

So we go look. House of Gnarly already checks conditions at the beach. When we find something worth surfing, we let you know.

Looking at the cam

“Eh. Looks tiny.”

“Thigh high. Offshore. Get out here.”
