Long Island New York Surf Breaks

Because of Long Island's long stretching coast line reaching out eastwards in to the Atlantic, the south facing side has a large swell window especially for hurricane swells. NE winter swells can cause problems for quite a few breaks as they don't pick up. If you fancy a drive then there are a few known decent reefs that can be scored on good swells. The water can get quite cold so you'll need a winter wettie. Barrier islands up the coast catch plenty of swell, so a 4WD is a good idea if you want to go exploring. The further you head along, the more access becomes restricted due to the privately owned gated beaches.
