Description
Rockaway Beach - New York
Rockaway Beach features a powerful reef break with both right and left waves, characterized by a sandy bottom mixed with rocks. The spot is best surfed at low and mid tide, with rising and falling tides providing optimal conditions. It is known for its hollow and ledgey waves, which can reach sizes of 1.2 meters and above, making it suitable for experienced surfers only.
This popular surf destination attracts local surfers, especially during rough weather, but can become crowded on weekends. The beach offers a relaxed vibe, although the currents can be treacherous, and surfers should be cautious of rips and undertow. Access is straightforward, located off Highway 1, with instant access available. While the waves can be inconsistent, the south end often provides more reliable conditions. Be respectful of locals and know your limits, as this spot is not for beginners when the surf is cranking.
