Surf: Long stretch of beachbreak interspersed with several short, rock jetties. Popular sandbars lie at the ends of 36th, 54th, and 56th Streets. Hollow, peaky, and very crowded. Holds up to a few feet overhead. Best during summertime S swells, but can be good at any time of the year. Environment: Park anywhere you can find a spot, which is very difficult during the summer, weekends, or periods of good swell.
