36th Street is a popular surf spot located along the coast, favored by local surfers for its relaxed vibe. This beachbreak offers a variety of waves, making it accessible for surfers of different skill levels. While not the most famous spot in the area, it’s a solid choice for those looking for some fun in the water.
The surf here is generally best when there's a NorthEast swell. It favors lefts but you'll sometimes get right-hand waves as well. The swell can handle sizes starting at around 2 feet (0.6 meters), and the waves break over sand, making it a forgiving option for beginners. Whether you're a newbie or have a bit more experience, you can catch decent waves when the conditions are right. Low, mid, and high tides all work, but if there’s a NorthWest wind, you'll find better conditions for riding some fun waves.
As for the summer scene, it’s pretty much a surfing beach. Most of the facilities you might need can be found further north at 32nd Street, so make sure to plan ahead if you're looking for amenities after your session. Overall, 36th Street offers a chill spot for some casual surfing, especially if the swell is cooperating.
