17th Ave Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

17th Ave in Gulf Coast, Florida is a sheltered beach break that sees fairly consistent surf, particularly during hurricane season when conditions align. The spot works best when a south-southeast swell is met with offshore winds from the north-northeast. Surf here is typically generated by windswells rather than groundswells, and the beach break provides both left and right-handers. While it can become busy when the waves are up, it's a dependable option in the region. Rips and undertow are the primary hazards to be aware of. The most reliable clean surf is found during winter, especially in February.
