Park Line is a beach break tucked along the eastern tip of New York's coastline near Montauk, where the Atlantic meets Block Island Sound at coordinates 41.0111, -71.9998. Facing northwest at 320°, this spot picks up a unique blend of south and southeast swells that wrap around the point, producing punchy, hollow peaks best ridden during the fall swell season. The spot's relatively exposed position means conditions can change quickly, rewarding surfers who time their sessions with precision.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Park Line is 2ft with a 6.6s swell period. Wind is SW at 11mph and conditions are rated Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Park Line is 2ft, produced by a 1.9ft SSE primary swell at 7s, a 1.2ft W wind swell swell at 3s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
Based on the current 5-day forecast, the best window to surf Park Line is Thursday from 6 AM to 9 AM with 2ft waves, a 7.6s swell period, and conditions rated Poor - Fair. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
