Bowl
“Big shift in beach and sandbars, waves aren’t showing up so well. The amount of sand on the beach at the Bowl is huge, biggest we’ve seen. Then the shoreline from Ponquogue to Quogue runs straight with hardly any points.”

This is the report on the Bowl from Peconic Jeff.   Such is what the non-winter has done to one of our premiere sailing spots. 

Will it stay this way?

Will we really have no joyous waves on rainy Easterly days?

Wherest shall chimps, puffins and countrymen ply their waveliness should things not be right?

We shall see.

    mike ive been going to the bowl for over 30 yrs. and ive never seen it look like it looks now. this is the most sand ever…almost halfway to the end of the jetty! very unusual winter. i believe it will go back to its usual bowl self next winter,but it will never be like it used to be before they [army corp of dumbells]extended the jetty and kind of destroyed the wave that used to be soooo good there.
