Hicks Beach

Hicks Beach is an S-facing beach break in Village of Lawrence, New York, United States. It picks up swell from E to SSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 51% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
