Lincoln Blvd surfspot characteristics

More about Lincoln Blvd surfspot

General: One of the most densely populated areas on the Long Island coast, Long Beach is lined with high-rise apartment buildings, a boardwalk, and jetties that poke into the Atlantic every quarter-mile. Good waves can be found around each of them, although shifting sandbars mean the spot du jour does, in fact, change regularly. Lincoln Blvd., an average beachbreak with slightly better lefts than rights, is the most happening spot in town. Not always as hollow as other breaks in town, Lincoln turns on with pushy, roping lefts off the jetty. Tides: Low-mid generally best Size: Waist high-well overhead Wind: NNW to NNE Swell: SE, ESE, E Bottom: Sand Paddling: Easy to paddle unless the surf is big. Spot Rating: Can get really fun and peaky on good swells.
