Georgica is a refined beach break tucked along the East Hampton coastline in New York, where a tidal pond outlet and shifting sandbars create surprisingly consistent and punchy waves. The break faces NNW into the Atlantic, picking up south and southeast swells that wrap along the Hamptons shoreline to produce hollow, fast-breaking peaks suited for experienced surfers. Its relatively secluded setting compared to more trafficked Long Island spots gives it a mellower vibe, though it draws a discerning local crowd of East End regulars.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Georgica (East Hampton) is 1-2ft with a 6.4s swell period. Wind is SW at 8mph. Conditions are rated Very Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.

Our Georgica (East Hampton) forecast uses NOAA GFS and other weather models combined with spot-specific bathymetry to calculate breaking wave heights. Short-range (1-3 day) forecasts are most reliable; extended forecasts show general trends. We also verify our offshore swell predictions against NOAA buoy measurements daily — see our accuracy page for those swell-verification metrics (buoys measure open-water swell, not breaking surf size).
