Robert Moses State Park Surf Guide

Robert Moses State Park in Long Island NY is an exposed beach break that has quite reliable surf and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds are from the northwest with some shelter here from west winds. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the southeast. The beach break offers both left and right hand waves. Good surf at all stages of the tide. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Take care of the strong rips here.

“Great beach. Nice clean water. Weekends way too crowded, but that's Long Island. Field 3 restrooms are nice and clean. recently could not get into field 3 so visited field 2. Restrooms a complete nightmare!! Long lines for ladies restroom..stench of urine..dirty..outdated..not sure where the ten dollars a carload goes but I would make those eyesores a priority.”
