The closest surfing beach to NYC, the crowds are more challenging here than the waves. Average beachbreaks that need a sizable swell to make it in here with big E swells bringing some decent lefts.
Always crowded with surfers who are as aggressive as Yellow Cab drivers. Parking spots can be found a few blocks back from the beach, where rip-offs are common.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
