Pacific Blvd is a solid beach break located on Long Island's South Shore in New York, sitting along the Atlantic-facing coastline near Long Beach. The spot picks up long-traveling south and southeast swells that wrap into the shore, producing punchy, fast-breaking waves that reward surfers who can read shifting sandbars. Fall is prime time here when post-tropical and nor'easter swells deliver some of the most powerful and consistent surf the New York coastline has to offer.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Pacific Blvd is 2-3ft with a 5.9s swell period. Wind is WSW at 7mph. Conditions are rated Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Pacific Blvd is 2-3ft, produced by a 2.3ft ESE wind swell swell at 6s, a 1.5ft SE secondary swell at 9s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
Based on the current 5-day forecast, the best window to surf Pacific Blvd is Sunday from 2 PM to 5 PM with 2ft waves, a 6.2s swell period, and conditions rated Fair - Good. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
Pacific Blvd works best with a SSE swell and NNW winds. Offshore winds groom the face of the wave, while onshore winds turn it sloppy. Cross-offshore conditions usually produce the cleanest shape.
Tide plays a big role at Pacific Blvd. Mid tide works for most beach breaks, while reef and point breaks often prefer higher or lower stages. Use the tide chart above to line up your session with the swell peak.

Our Pacific Blvd 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).
