Point O'Woods is a semi-private point break tucked along the south shore of Fire Island in New York, offering riders a fun and somewhat consistent wave shaped by its northward-facing geometry catching south and south-southwest Atlantic swells wrapping around the point. The break tends to produce peeling, mid-length rides over a sandy bottom, making it an approachable yet rewarding spot for intermediate surfers looking to escape the more crowded New York lineups. Its access is limited due to the private community surrounding it, which keeps the crowd count manageable for those who do make the journey out.
