Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

FA’s in North Florida is a fairly exposed beach and reef break with reasonably consistent surf that works year-round. Ideal conditions occur when offshore winds from the west combine with a south-southeast swell. This spot favors right-hand waves and is best surfed around high tide. It’s often crowded, and surfers should watch out for rips, rocks, man-made hazards like buoys, and sharks. The best time for consistent, clean waves is during winter, especially in February.
