North Bar, Montauk

North Bar, Montauk is an NE-facing reef break in Montauk, New York, United States. It picks up swell from E to SSE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 67% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SW: light winds or SW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NE onshores chop it up.
