Georgia in East Hampton is a popular surf spot that surfers frequent due to its consistent waves. It's a beach break with a sandy bottom, making it beginner-friendly, but conditions can get tricky, especially for those who are not at least at an intermediate skill level. The area tends to get crowded, particularly on good days, and parking can be difficult and expensive, so it's a good idea to arrive early.

The best surf at Georgia happens with a southwest swell, which breaks both left and right when the sand builds up on the east side of the jetties. It can handle swell sizes up to about 2 ft (0.6 m) and works well at all tide levels—low, mid, and high. For the best conditions, aim for a northwest wind. While it’s not the most powerful spot out there, it can still provide enjoyable sessions when the swell is right.

Since the spot is popular among locals, be ready for a bit of competition in the water, especially on those perfect days. The crowd can be mixed in terms of skill level, which can add to the vibe but also make navigating the waves a bit more complicated. As always, it's good to be mindful of the surf etiquette here.
