Cupsogue Surf Guide

Cupsogue is a fun beachbreak that can handle those pesky westerlies better than most of the other spots nearby. It is also one of the most rippable waves, offering both rights and lefts just begging to be smacked and jumped off of. The secret to Cupsogue's success is the fact that West Hampton is littered with wave-shaping jetties.
