Surf Break: Fernandina Beach Pier

Fernandina Beach Pier in North Florida is an exposed beach/Pier break that has fairly consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds from the west. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the northeast. The beach break provides left and right handers. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Sometimes crowded. Hazards include sharks,jellyfish, rips.
