Calle Hermosa

📍 Local Knowledge

Calle Hermosa in Gulf Coast, Florida is an exposed sandbar break that rarely works, with the best surf typically occurring during hurricane season. It performs best when a south-southeast swell meets offshore winds from the north-northwest. Most of the waves are windswells, with the sandbar offering both left and right-hand rides. While it can occasionally draw a crowd when the conditions align, it's generally a quiet spot. Hazards include strong rips, undertow, and the presence of sharks. The most consistent clean surf can be found in winter, especially during February.
