Long Beach faces a bit SW, allowing it to handle the NE winds better. When the rest of Long Island is maxing out, Long Beach jetties will be organized but smaller. Can get hollow and perfect at lower tides.
Just above medium consistency, it's often crowded and suffers from rips. More suburban parking problems.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
