About

The Wall at Hampton Beach is a jetty-influenced beach break that holds shape better than the surrounding open beaches when the wind picks up. The seawall and jetty structure focus swell into more defined peaks, making this a reliable fallback when conditions are messy elsewhere in the region. Popular with the local NH crew.

The Break

The Wall, Hampton Beach — peaks form around the jetty structure at the south end of Hampton Beach State Park.

Ideal Conditions

E/NE swell 3-8ft, offshore W/SW wind, mid tide
