Park Line Surf Report & Ideal Conditions

Live NOAA data · Updated 2026-09-16
As of the latest buoy reading (2026-09-16 14:00 UTC), Park Line is fair: the live 0–2 ft short-period swell from the E is off its ideal SW direction and is in its ideal size range, and the wind is moderate from the SW. Park Line is most often good on a 0–2 ft short-period (under 8s) swell from the SW, with strong wind from the N, on a high incoming tide — the conditions LazySurfer surfers have logged and rated highest across the surrounding region.

As of the latest buoy reading (2026-09-16 14:00 UTC), Park Line is fair: the live 0–2 ft short-period swell from the E is off its ideal SW direction and is in its ideal size range, and the wind is moderate from the SW.

Is Park Line good for beginners?

Park Line tends to suit beginners at its best — the sweet spot here is small 0–2 ft surf, the most forgiving size to learn on. It also tends to be best when the wind is up, which adds chop, so pick a calmer day while you're still learning. Conditions change daily, so always check the live report on this page before paddling out.

What's the best tide for Park Line?

Park Line tends to be best on a high incoming tide — the tide stage LazySurfer surfers have rated highest here. Tide changes how the swell breaks, so check the two-day tide chart on this page for today's high and low times.

What swell direction is best for Park Line?

The best swell direction for Park Line is from the southwest (SW). Swell arriving from the southwest lines up best with how this break faces, which is when LazySurfer surfers have rated it highest.

What's the best wind for Park Line?

Park Line is most often good with strong wind from the north (N) — the wind LazySurfer surfers logged on their best-rated sessions here. Wind direction grooms or chops the wave face, so check the live report for current wind.

Where does LazySurfer's surf data for Park Line come from?

LazySurfer reads public data directly from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center and the National Weather Service — the nearest NDBC wave buoy (station 44097) and the nearest NOAA tide station (Montauk, Fort Pond Bay). The same raw readings NOAA publishes, with no proprietary smoothing.

Does LazySurfer predict whether Park Line is good for me?

Yes. LazySurfer trains a custom deep-learning model — a PyTorch neural network with per-user embeddings, retrained weekly on real logged surf sessions from the LazySurfer community — to predict the 1-to-5 star rating you personally would give, rather than a single average rating for everyone.
