📍 Local Knowledge
West Pass in Alabama is an exposed sandbar break known for reasonably consistent surf, especially during the hurricane season. It works best when a south-southeast swell aligns with offshore winds from the north-northwest. The waves here mainly come from local windswells rather than distant groundswells. Surfable at all tide stages, West Pass offers a reliable and uncrowded surfing experience. The prime time for clean, rideable waves is during Winter, with February being the month with the most consistent conditions.
