Nun's Beach - Break Data
Surf spot travel photo of Nun's Beach (Stone Harbor)
Description
Decent, lined-up surf, both lefts and rights. Nun's is located in front of the convent on 114th Street and is especially fun on a good, head-high northeast swell. Surfing is restricted during the day in the summer, but the north side of the jetty is open to surfing all day. Beach tags are required. The surf is shared by enthusiastic longboarders and young wave-warriors. Lots of surf moms and dads teach their kids to surf here.
