About Cisco Beach
Cisco Beach is Nantucket's most consistent surf break, facing south-southwest to catch swell that other island beaches miss. The waves are typically mellow and approachable, perfect for longboards and progression. When larger swells wrap in, it can offer more punch than expected. The remote island setting and beautiful scenery make every session feel like an escape.

This Week's Outlook
