Surf Montauk point - Turtles

Montauk Point - Turtles Turtles is a fickle yet rewarding surf spot featuring a right-hand point break over a rocky reef with boulders. The waves are known for being fast and powerful, particularly during mid to high tide with a rising tide. Access is straightforward, with parking available by the Montauk lighthouse and a short 5-minute walk to the beach. This classic Montauk surf location thrives on southeast swells, especially when complemented by west to northwest winds. While the wave quality can fluctuate throughout the day, monitoring the tide is crucial for optimal conditions. The cove can get ultra crowded, particularly on weekends, but the strong currents often help to thin the lineup. For those seeking a quieter session, exploring the area around Camp Hero Air Force Base may provide a less congested experience, albeit with a longer trek to the surf. Be cautious of localism and potential hazards like rips and rocks.
