Spot Guide
Turtle Cove (Turtles) is widely considered the best wave in Montauk — a powerful right-hand point/reef break over boulders just west of Montauk Lighthouse. When a proper SE swell hits with NW offshore winds, it produces hollow, tubing waves with rides of 50-300 meters. The shallow boulder reef, strong rip currents, and powerful waves make this strictly for experienced surfers.
