Coney Island Beach Conditions & Surf Report

Coney Island is New York City's historic seaside playground in Brooklyn, famous for its boardwalk, the landmark Cyclone roller coaster, Nathan's hot dogs, and Luna Park. A wide public beach on the Atlantic backed by a century of amusement history, it's an only-in-NYC mix of sand, rides, and city energy. The Atlantic here is cool — typically the upper 60s to low 70s°F at the August peak, and cold the rest of the year. Check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, follow posted flags, and swim near a lifeguard.
