Spot Guide
Main Beach in East Hampton, New York is a classic Long Island beach break sitting along the South Fork's Atlantic-facing shoreline, offering fun and forgiving waves that attract surfers of all skill levels. Facing northwest at 320°, the break benefits most from south to southeast swells generated by Atlantic storms, with fall hurricane season delivering the most consistent and powerful surf. The wide sandy beach and relatively mellow wave shape make it a welcoming spot for beginners while still offering enjoyable rides for more experienced surfers on the right swell.
