West Dune Rd. is a relatively uncrowded beach break tucked along the South Fork of Long Island in New York, facing nearly north-northwest toward the open waters of the Atlantic approaches. The spot picks up swells generated by nor'easters and late-season tropical storms, producing punchy, sand-bottom waves that can offer solid barrels when conditions align. Its low-key access and distance from more popular Hamptons surf zones keep the lineup refreshingly mellow, rewarding those willing to do a little exploring.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at West Dune Rd. is 2-3+ft with a 6.3s swell period. Wind is WSW at 14mph. Conditions are rated Very Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at West Dune Rd. is 2-3+ft, produced by a 2.3ft ESE wind swell swell at 6s, a 1.5ft SE secondary swell at 9s, a 1.1ft SW wind swell swell at 2s. 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.

Our West Dune Rd. 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).
