Description

Ditch Plains - Long Island Ditch Plains features a right-hand reef break with a rocky bottom, delivering hollow, fast, and powerful waves. The spot is easily accessible, requiring a short walk (5-15 minutes) from the parking area. It is known for its crowded conditions, especially during summer, attracting a mix of locals and visitors. This iconic surf destination on Long Island is celebrated for its consistent waves and vibrant atmosphere. While the lineup can become hectic, particularly during peak surf season, it caters to various board types, including shortboards and longboards.

Despite these challenges, Ditch Plains remains a reliable surf spot, particularly in autumn and winter when the waves are at their best.
