About
Even the small day, it's well worth the longboard haul.
Great for shorter boards once the swell is 3'+.
Atmosphere:
Once you make it here...prepare to poo' yourself at the break you'll see. A completely flat unsurfable day at smiths has given way to perfect 2-3ft rolling waves, ridable from offshores from all the way at 300ft out, all the way to shore and in between. It's going to be the new Ditch...without the yuppies and SUPs. Watch out Waikiki, LI is the new Hawaii.
Additional Info:
Park at Smiths. Walk 1.5mi/35min west.

It's a 30minute walked west from Smith Point FINS tower. You'll know when you get there, cause you can't walk anymore. It's the entire east side of the new inlet created by Sandy. PERFECT rolling longboard waves. A Waikiki on LI. Watch out Ditch, this is the new world class spot.
