Oyster Bay Harbor is a wakesurfing river in New York, near Oyster Bay (long Island), NY. The most popular Long Island wakesurf spot, a protected harbor 50 minutes from NYC reachable by car or train.

Only harbor on Long Island protected from wind and waves on all sides, so there's calm water regardless of wind direction or current. Tidal saltwater (technically an estuary/harbor, not a lake); local water-sports operators run wakesurf charters here. Watch boat traffic in peak season.

The typical warm-weather window here is June–September, based on Open-Meteo 2019–2023 daily-high climatology. Wakesurfing is a fair-weather sport, so plan around water and air temperatures — and always confirm the current local wake-boat rules before you ride.
