Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Fire Island, NY, is an exposed beach break with consistent surf year-round. It works best with a southeast swell and offshore northwest winds, offering both left and right-hand waves. The ideal conditions occur during winter, especially in December, with clean, rideable waves. The break favors low tide on a rising tide and receives a mix of groundswells and windswells. While it rarely gets crowded, surfers should be cautious of strong rip currents.
