40th Street

📍 Local Knowledge

40th Street is a quite exposed beach break in South Florida that offers reliable surf but with limited predictability. It works year-round, with best results when northeast swells combine with offshore winds from the west, which helps craft cleaner, more organized waves. Surfers should remain cautious of rip currents, sharks, and jellyfish—common local hazards. In terms of seasonal performance, winter, particularly January, offers the best chance for clean, rideable surf—even though quality conditions occur only occasionally.
