Lido Beach Spot Guide

If Lido Beach isn't the best beachbreak on the entire East Coast, it’s definitely top-three. With deeper water offshore, when conditions are right at Lido, it’s just peaks for days. Facing pretty much due-south, Lido loves S and SE swells, N winds, and mid-tides and is famous for vicious rips, brutal crowds, embarrassing denials and apex tube riding. The main peak at Lido maxes out at just under double-overhead, then it starts doubling up and washing through, but it still picks up more swell than Long Beach. Show up with four boards and you'll leave with four boards… broken.
