About This Spot
Ditch Plains is Montauk's famed reef break: a rocky bottom produces long peeling A‑frame waves that break both left and right. It's suitable for longboards and funboards and works best on south‑to‑southeast swells with mid to high tides; summer and fall see friendly crowds but locals still hold priority.
Local Etiquette
Respect the lineup hierarchy; smile, say hi, and avoid dropping in on someone deeper.
