🌊

The Wave

Best when an East or Southeast long-period swell wraps around Montauk and the wind is a light-to-moderate SW offshore.

Works on most tides but is at its freshest on mid to incoming tides.

🏄

Lineup Guide

This spot runs tight to a rock/boulder shelf - expect punchy, fast takeoffs and awkward sections over shallow rock that raise consequence at bigger sizes.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
