The shorebreak is crazy. The waves are 3-5 feet. When a good north or south swell hits the waves are amazing. Although it is 5 bucks for a day pass to the beach. There are only two other skimboarders that skim with me.
Crowds are very small.
Hop on the Parkway. Go down rt.35 to Normandy beach. Turn left on seventh street. All summer u can get pretty good waves, but i usually would go mid to late summer. In early morning u can usually get sum flats to cruse a little.
