North Florida Surf Breaks
Florida is no Indonesia, Florida is extremely inconsistent and a good day would consist of semi-glassy 2-3 foot rides. On average the waves are suitable for paddle boarders and skim boarders, any performance surfer seeking the perfect wave will not be lucky in this region. You will experience the better, and more consistent waves usually in the winter season. For the most part the surf consists of flat long, predictable beach breaks, with an unordinary groundswell or Hurricane. The optimal swell or the "perfect" day so to speak, occurs with a hurricane 300-475 miles off the coast, with an offshore wind. Beware of occasional sea lice, and crowded-ness when surfable......Santiago Garcia
