The “almost” in the headline is subjective. Though the weather is improving, beaches don’t open until Memorial Day, almost a month and a half away. In the meantime, surfers have already begun to eagerly ply the waves. Regular surf news is available from Surf New York, and regular conditions reports from Duke’s Stormcast; today, surfers can look forward to:
Waves: 2-3 | 2-3
Wind: SW 5-10 | SW 5-10
Conditons: Fairly clean
Which means…well, who knows, exactly?
Surf2live does, for one, and they’re eager to share their knowledge with you. The Long Island surf school began providing lessons on April 7 from their Long Beach location. Would-be or would-be better surfers can hone their skills starting at $100 / hour.
Cheaper: watching surfing. The New York Surf Film Festival is accepting submissions now for their late September screenings.
