Sunday Surf Poem: "Dover Beach" by Matthew Arnold
Update: 2025-11-16
Description
Couldn't find the perfect surf poem this week? No problem—we're going old school. Like really old school.
This week's Sunday Surf Poem is "Dover Beach" by Matthew Arnold, a classic of the sea from the 1800s. No, Arnold wasn't a surfer. But he was a guy standing at a window, staring out across the English Channel, letting the sound of waves trigger a deep spiral into faith, disillusionment, longing, and love.
