Hither Hills State Park is a scenic beach break on the South Fork of Long Island in New York, tucked along the Atlantic-facing shoreline near Montauk. The break faces NNW into the open Atlantic fetch, picking up south and southeast swells generated by offshore storms, with fall hurricane season delivering the most consistent and powerful surf. Waves here tend to be punchy and short-period, breaking over shifting sandbars that reward surfers who read the beach carefully before paddling out.
