Local swell, wind, and tide notes for Wellfleet

LeCount Hollow (Maguire Landing) is a secluded Wellfleet beach with powerful Outer Cape waves. Less crowded than Cahoon or Marconi but still fully exposed to Atlantic swell.

Best swell
East swell is prime. The break rewards period - look for 6+ second intervals on our forecast for better push.
Best wind
West offshore wind grooms the faces. WNW texture above 5 mph is flagged on northern Outer Cape spots.
Tide tip
Mid tide often balances bar shape and paddle access. Steep shorebreak can be intense at low tide.
Skill level
Intermediate to advanced. Remote feel but real power when swell arrives.

Beach safety

Cape Cod National Seashore beaches carry Stop the Bleed trauma kits and emergency call boxes. Know where they are before you paddle out.

  • Call 911 for any emergency. Lifeguards are typically on duty mid-June through Labor Day only.
  • Purple shark flags mean elevated shark risk - follow NPS Shark Smart guidance and check the Sharktivity app.
  • Strong rips, shorebreak, and cold water are common. Surf within your limits and never alone in the off-season.
