More about Fire Island surfspot
General: The island is a 10-plus-mile sandbank that offers endless beachbreaks only occasionally interrupted by groins. Shifting bars mean good waves one day and no waves the next -- adding to the overall frustration of lack of mobility. Needless to say, the island is consistent and it is uncrowded. Tides: Mid Size: Waist high-well overhead Wind: NW to NNW Swell: SE Bottom: Sand Paddling: Depends on the swell and sandbar - ranges from easy in summer to very hard in winter. Spot Rating: Depends on the swell and sandbar but can get fun.
All levels depending on the swell.
On the more difficult side.
September through March
Crowd Factor: Mellow. Local Vibe: Light to moderate.
Pretty clean overall.
Powerful surf, rip currents.
