Sunset sessions in Queens

Queens, New York

Recommendations refresh every 30 minutes based on tide, wind, and crowd telemetry from Quiver.

After-work glass-offs in Queens can rival dawn patrol on good days. Afternoon thermals die, the crowd thins, and these 2 west-facing breaks catch the last clean sets of the day.

Top spot recommendations

Sort your quiver, choose the right tide window, and jot down a backup in case the main peak gets stacked.

Featured Beaches(2)

Rockaway Beach – 90th St

Intermediate

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.

Rockaway Beach – 98th St

Intermediate

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.

What to focus on today
