Montauk, New York
Sunset and golden hour times for planning your evening session.
After-work glass-offs in Montauk can rival dawn patrol on good days. Afternoon thermals die, the crowd thins, and these 2 west-facing breaks catch the last clean sets of the day.

2 spots
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.
Turtle Cove, tucked in Camp Hero below the Montauk Point Lighthouse, is a rocky cove that only fires on large southeast swells. The wave breaks over boulders, producing powerful slabs and rip currents; only experienced surfers should attempt this spot.

Enter between the rock groins; watch your footing on the cobblestones and paddle wide to avoid the rocks.

A steep trail leads to the rocky shoreline—wear booties and carefully pick your way over boulders before paddling out.
