Lido West
Edit SpotAbout
I learned to surf at this spot and have still been surfing it since. It is a very fun wave to ride and i will never get tired of surfing it.
Atmosphere:
If you are a surfer on long island Lido west is the place to be during the summer , b/c of its considerable size and crowds. During the late fall and winter its parking lot is usually blocked off but access is still possible. During these cold months this beach looks desolate and not very appealing to paddle out into, especially when there is a good swell. But overall it is a good fun and at times challenging wave to ride.
Additional Info:
on average days it can be a fun wave for anyone to ride, but when major swell hits this break it can be quite challenge paddling out and wave size can reach considerable heights and be very powerful.
