Flies

📍 Local Knowledge

Flies is an exposed beach/Jetty break located in Long Island, NY, known for consistent surf year-round. The best wind direction for optimal conditions is from the northwest, while the most favorable swell comes from the southwest. The break primarily offers right-hand waves, with dangerous rips to be aware of. The best surf conditions occur when a southwest swell coincides with offshore northwest winds, especially during winter, with January being the prime month for clean, rideable waves. Crowds are common when the surf is up, making it important to navigate carefully in the water.
