Rockaways

About Rockaways

The Rockaways are one of New York’s most consistent surf zones, benefiting from jetties, beach-break peaks, and strong swell exposure. Waves here tend to be punchy and well-defined, often breaking close to shore with speed and power. The variety of setups allows surfers to find something rideable in most conditions, though crowds are a factor. When the swell lines up, Rockaway delivers some of the best urban surf on the East Coast.
