Brad and I tried Egypt Beach in Scituate for some clean wind and waviness in a NW wind. The beach is open to out of towners. The parking lot is not. Even on a wild, stormy, ugly day. "We ticket 365 days a year", the very nice police officer said. We parked elsewhere and walked in.
It was a wild, stormy, beautiful day. I love days like this! It just feels like something exciting is going to happen. And it did. I've got the tired muscles to prove it.
Egypt Beach- A high crest of fist size rocks and pebbles with a sand and gravel beach below that disappears at high tide. Mid to low tide has best waves and launch conditions. A somewhat intimidating looking spot but nice wind and waves, (which is very elusive in NW around Boston). 2 surfers were out but there was plenty of room for all.
Pictures- Brad shows how it's done.

Nice looking spot. Too bad the cop has to be such a douche.
Yeah, it's a spot I want to go back to. Rumor is that you can park on nearby residential streets and walk in. Let me know if you want to go sometime. Better with company. I didn't really like the beach for self launching.
Here's what happens at Egypt Beach when the wind is calm... http://youtu.be/NSzMItYoEPI
