Surfing -- are waves that break to the right a rare occurrence? I'm from NYC so forgive my ignorance.?

Question

Anyone who could give me some info of the sport of surfing, I would greatly appreciate.

Answer 1

depending on the break youre surfing it can either break left or right or both

Answer 2

no waves break both ways.

Answer 3

they always break both ways. sometimes one side will die because its so far left or right of the beach

Answer 4

No, it really depends on the break and/or the wind and/or the swell.  For some reason most of the "great" waves around the world break to the left.
