About This Spot
Le Counts Hollow is a beach break located on Cape Cod's Atlantic-facing coast in Massachusetts. The beach orientation is northeasterly, with the water body being the open Atlantic Ocean. This exposed beach break receives consistent ocean swell but is characterized by choppy, variable water conditions typical of unprotected coastlines. The sandy beach with visible residential development indicates limited space for launching and landing equipment. Side-shore conditions occur with east and southeast winds, which would be optimal for kitesurfing at this location. The spot experiences low wind reliability at 13.9% and modest average wave heights of 0.79m, making it suitable primarily for beginners during favorable conditions. The presence of visible shallow areas, sandbars, and rocky outcrops requires local knowledge for safe navigation. Water temperature averaging 11.5°C necessitates appropriate thermal protection. This location is best suited to local kiters familiar with hazard placement and tidal conditions, particularly during spring and summer months when wind frequency increases.
