About This Spot
Just north of 54th, 52nd Street serves up slightly bigger, more walled waves that require quick take-offs. The sandy bottom and jetty setup create long walls that are great for experienced surfers who like to race down the line. It works at mid tide and tends to close out on lower tides.
Local Etiquette
Respect locals and spread out along the beach; take turns and don't block the inside.
