Although it faces almost due south, a NE swell still manages to wrap around Cape Arundel, which is a bonus if the wind is also NE, making it dead offshore for Kennebunk. Needs at least 3ft (?m) to start breaking, but it?ll handle as big as it gets. Big, brown, heavy, smokin? lefts and rights with critical drops, especially on a low incoming tide.
The crowds can be as thick as the lips because it's only a medium consistency spot. The strong rips combine with a mixture of residential, stormwater and estuary effluent. Residents-only parking in town in summer. Free parking in winter, which is when it's most likely to break anyway.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
