Water Temps can fluctuate pretty rapidly here on Long Island. A few days of North winds can drop temps 5-10 degrees, and they might rise just as quickly. Water temps generally rise 10 degrees a month starting in the 30's in Feb, peaking around 72 in September(best time). Along with a quiver of boards, a quiver of wetsuits is a good idea.
Dominant Swell and Wind Direction : Any storm that can produce S,SSE,SE,ESE swell will generate waves somewhere on the Island. Generally after a front moves through the wind will switch from northerly offshores around to westerly sideshores which chop it up.

local(the non asshole variety)
Gotta agree with surferchick. There are way to many assholes that surf on long island. Its refreshing when you surf somewhere and the people are actually cool. Its hard to come by these days. Hey local, if I surfed at your spot and u touched my car I'd beat the Sh*t out of you. get your head out of your arse. Surfing is supposed to be a way to get away from people like you. Grow up
