| 207661 | 10448 | Cities to Surf and raise a family in that are somewhat affordable? | 43 | Landlord | May 18, 2021 | 2021-05-18T10:18:49-0400 | New England will be great for everything but surfing. When the points fire it can be excellent ,however coastal ocean access/ parking is poor at best for all but wealthy elitist during the summer months/ hurricane swells. Gated / Guarded communities are common and zip code specific beach passes are the norm. Park and play beaches exist but you’ll be surfing with a herd of fair weather friends. Winter is exact opposite- things are far more approachable if you can stomach the cold. Surfing 3 x per week will not be happening often. After 35 years of cold water dedication the highest number of sessions rarely tops 120 sessions per year and that’s chasing a crap load of sub par days and getting after any ripple. Flex time with work is required or you’ll miss out on those tight windows for waves. Having a boat ( or friends with boats ) and a bike is mandatory to access those dreamy uncrowded spots. We’re moving to OBSF ( my girls home town) in a few years and preparing for financial ruin. |
