Turtle Cove

Turtle Cove is a beginner-friendly surf spot in Long Island NY featuring a reef and point break that works year-round. The waves are best at mid tide with rising water, and the ideal swell comes from the southeast. West winds provide the best conditions, though northeast winds offer some shelter. Surfers should be cautious of rocks, strong rips, jellyfish, and occasional crowds. The cold water requires a wetsuit, but the consistent waves make it a rewarding spot.
