About This Spot
Just down the boardwalk from 90th Street, Beach 98th has similar punchy peaks. Jetties create multiple take‑off spots and the wave suits lower‑intermediate to advanced surfers on south and east swells with light offshore winds.
Local Etiquette
Respect locals and avoid dropping in; high fives go further than attitude.
