About This Spot
Beach 90th Street in Rockaway is a bustling beach‑break with jetties creating punchy lefts and rights. The zone draws everyone from novice longboarders to seasoned shortboarders and gets its best shape on south‑ and east‑swell hurricane pulses with an offshore west or northwest breeze.
Local Etiquette
