Holyoke is a lesser-known beach break on the southern end of Long Beach Island, offering uncrowded peaks for surfers willing to explore beyond the more popular spots. The Atlantic-facing shoreline picks up ESE and E swells well, producing punchy waves over shifting sandbars that reward those who know how to read the bottom. Fall hurricane swells are the prime window, when cooler water and consistent groundswell combine for the most shapely conditions.
