You have to take a boat or a jetski. It is the island directly off Nantucket near Madaket. You can take a boat from the madaket harbor. Just be carefull that you dont run into a sand bar. You drive up and jump in. Be really carEfull there is a big rip. Have someone stay on the boat to watch out for you.

Additional Information
Not many people go out here. But if you plan to i would ask at one of the surf shops first to make sure there isnt any new dangers. Take a few experianced surfers and good pattelers. This wave will always be bigger than Nantucket and a whole lot longer. I would take a boat and if you can a jetski this would be very helpfull as it can take you righ to the sandbar and stay with you. Assist you if you get cought up in the rip and can go anywere a surfer can because it does not need much water. Surf here at your own risk.
Atmosphere
This spot is out in the ocean in bettween two islands it can be scary at times. But once you get one of those good long barreling rides you wont want to leave.
General
This spot is one of the best on the east coast. on some days the wave looks like it never ends. If you are a new england surfer i would recomend spending a few days on Nantucket and a day or two out at Tuckernuck.

- I'am very new to the area, coming from France, but I'am still totally agreed with U steeve. People should do their own search for that kind of spot. I will do mine

How about a break? - Any spots between Montauk and Monomoy that are reached by boat should not be revealed, especially with pictures! Those who are willing to investigate deserve the fruits of their labors otherwise keep quiet!

Agreed - agreed no one should post spots that could remain off the beaten path for a while. i have done this type of looking all around the world and would not let the masses know about it.
