Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Poles in Montauk is a consistent beach break that delivers fun, rippable peaks favored by local shortboarders and longboarders alike—best conditions typically occur in late summer and fall when tropical and hurricane swells light up the coastline. Offshore west to northwest winds clean up south to southeast swells, producing a mix of lefts and rights over well-formed sandbars. The spot works through a range of tides, though mid tide often offers the best balance between shape and speed. Crowds can be moderate on good days, but the lineup generally has a laid-back vibe. Hazards include strong rip currents and occasional shorebreak. The best surf is usually from August through October.
