On the curved end of Fire Island, this State Park has the easiest access and parking in the city area. Broken into 4 ?fields?, #4 picks up the most swell on the east side. Field 1 faces more south meaning it will be smaller but the curve of the beach can line up the lefts quite well. It always breaks close to the beach with hollow thumping sections.
Often crowded in spots with plenty of current to contend with. Full facilities at each large car park.

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.
