Robert Moses surf guide

Robert Moses is a popular surf spot located on the southern shore of Long Island, offering surfers a convenient option for catching waves. The south-facing beach means it can pick up swells with just a little push from the ocean, especially during the summer months. The sandbars are always shifting, which provides a decent variety of peaks, though it can be a bit hit or miss depending on the day.

The waves here break over sandy bottoms and can range in size from 3 feet (about 1 meter) to 10 feet (about 3 meters). Surf conditions can vary, making it suitable for different skill levels, from beginners to intermediates. You can catch both lefts and rights, and the best times to surf are usually during mid tide with the wind coming from the north and its variations (like north-northwest and northeast). Be prepared to deal with rip currents, especially when the swells are larger, so keep an eye on the conditions.

Getting to Robert Moses is pretty easy, and once you’re there, be sure to check in with the attendants about where you can surf that day. The local vibe is generally mellow, with a moderate crowd factor, which means you’ll have some company but it isn’t too overwhelming. This spot works best from autumn through winter, so that’s when you'll find the most reliable surf conditions.
