K Road is a solid beach break located on the South Shore of Long Island, New York, near Westhampton Beach, drawing consistent swells that funnel up from the Atlantic. The spot faces NNW into the back bay side, meaning it picks up energy from storms tracking up the Eastern Seaboard and delivers punchy, fast-breaking peaks that reward surfers who know how to read shifting sandbars. Fall is the prime season when hurricane swells and nor'easters combine to produce some of the most powerful and well-formed waves on Long Island's eastern stretch.
