Montauk is serving up a modest but workable morning with 2.3 feet of SSE swell rolling in at a 9-second period. That period is the key number — it's not pumping, but there's enough push and shape to make Ditch Plains worth your time. The SSE direction wraps into Ditch reasonably well, and if you're selective about your waves, the shoulders should hold for a few turns.

The Point is a tougher sell today. At this size and swell angle, it needs everything to line up perfectly — check it early if you're curious, but don't count on it delivering.

Tide matters more than usual when the surf is this small. Target low to mid incoming for the best chance at a rideable sandbar. Skip high tide unless you enjoy paddling for nothing.

Water temperature is sitting at 57°F — cold but manageable. A 4/3 wetsuit is the minimum; don't talk yourself into a 3/2. As for wind, if it stays light and offshore this morning the surface will look cleaner than the size suggests, so get out early before any onshore flow turns things messy.

Bottom line: this isn't a drop-everything session, but if you're already out east, Ditch Plains will give you waves to ride. Grab a fish or a mid-length and bring some patience. Montauk is small and selective today — work with it.
