Hobe Sound/The Refuge in South Florida is an exposed beach and reef break that has reasonably consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Offshore winds blow from the west. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the best swell direction is from the northeast. The beach breaks favour lefts. Best around mid tide when the tide is rising. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Beware of rocks and sharks.
