Jones Beach State Park Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Jones Beach State Park in Long Island, NY, is an exposed beach break with consistent surf year-round. It works best with a southeast swell and offshore winds from the northwest, though it offers some shelter from west winds. Both windswells and groundswells contribute to the waves, which break both left and right. The best surf conditions typically occur in autumn, especially in September. Crowds can be an issue when the surf is good, and surfers should be cautious of strong rip currents.
