- Man-made danger (buoys etc..)
- Localism
Use the Jetty to your advantage to paddle out.
Parking on street, No meters!, or in public lot.
West of the Jetty is more beachbreak with Both Rights and Lefts. watch out for old submerged
wooden groins- nasty sharp pointy things.
Atmosphere
This is by no stretch of the imagination a Secret Spot. It can and does get CROWDED during the summer. More than likely you will not get a wave to yourself at the main peak. Try moving a bit west to catch the waves that swing a bit wide, or east to the next jetty (The Box).
General
On a good day this place can go off bigtime and everyone knows it. Even on an off day it can be fun. Even as crowded as it gets, generally speaking, If you leave the attitude home, you can have a good time.

tips - Beware of the "sticks". These are old wooden jetties in rockaway and they can totally snag your leash. Theyre especially dangerous on heavy days at high tide where rockaway tends to get a strong easternly current which will rake unsuspecting surfers over these death traps. People injure themselves frequently and one sadly dies every year without fail from encounters with the sticks. My advice: check the shoreline for the markers before dropping in and dont leap off your board at the end of the wave.
