Montauk Beach Conditions & Surf Report

Montauk sits at the very tip of Long Island — 'The End' — a rugged, surf-and-fishing town with a historic lighthouse, wide open ocean beaches, and a laid-back-meets-trendy character. Known for some of the best surf in New York and a deep sport-fishing heritage, it's a windswept escape at the edge of the Hamptons. 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.
