The Wave

The 61st Street jetty concentrates peaks and can create a strong rip and punchy outside bowl on the north side - expect faster, hollow waves near the structure and easier, wind-affected peaks farther down the seawall.

Low to mid tides often expose the sandbars that shape the more rideable peaks.
