Much good advise here, and I do not want to sound discouraging... If you had said that you were a surf guy from elswhere... well that would be one thing. But I do not think that Montauk is the best place to "break your cherry" at Surf Casting unless you stay on the north side beaches or town beaches on the south side. As much as you will want to climb the rocks under the light our scout along Camp Hero... that can be a dangerous place for the novice and certainly not alone for the first time out.
