Description

Gilgo - Long Island, New York Gilgo Beach features a beach break with both right and left waves over a sandy bottom, offering ordinary to fun power. The spot is accessible via a short walk from the parking lot located on the bay side, a couple of miles east of Jones Beach. It primarily works at low tide during falling tide conditions. This unique surf spot is known for its long stretches of sand and a rich surfing culture, particularly outside the summer months when crowds diminish. While it may not always deliver the best waves, it shines during autumn and winter, making it a worthwhile destination. The local vibe is generally mellow, encouraging surfers to enjoy their time rather than compete for waves. With a variety of boards, from shortboards to longboards, surfers can adapt to the conditions, especially when the swell is just right.
