Long Beach Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Long Beach in Long Island, NY, is an exposed beach and jetty break with consistent surf year-round. It works best with offshore winds from the north-northeast and swells from the southeast. Both local windswells and distant groundswells generate waves, offering both lefts and rights, with optimal conditions around low tide. The best surf typically occurs in autumn, especially in September, when clean, rideable waves are most common. The spot can get crowded, and surfers should be cautious of strong rips.
