South Florida Surf Breaks

Central/southern Florida mainly consists of beach breaks.The best time to surf is winter but the season really doesn't matter. Looking down the beach, you will see flat, sandy beaches with condos lining the shore.....Zach Pacetti

Good facilities with most breaks. One of the most beautiful strips of beach there is. The climate is sub tropical with high humidity and mild winters. The fall brings the best waves in the hurricane season. The coast manly consists of beach breaks. The continental shelf drains most of the power through the summer months.
