Siesta

📍 Local Knowledge

Siesta in Florida is an exposed beach and pier break with inconsistent surf, typically best during the summer months. It favors local windswells over groundswells, with ideal wave conditions when a south-southwest swell combines with offshore winds from the east-northeast. The beach break produces both left and right-hand waves and offers some shelter from north winds. Crowds are common when the surf is up. While the best conditions are reported with a south-southwest swell and east-northeast winds, the most consistent clean waves usually occur in spring, especially in May. Hazards are present but unspecified.
