Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Stuart Public Beach in South Florida is an exposed reef break known for its dependable surf, though it generally flattens out during summer. The best sessions happen when northeast swells line up with offshore winds from the west, particularly on a rising low tide. Both beach and offshore reef breaks offer lefts and rights, catering to a range of surfing preferences. It tends to draw a crowd when it's firing, and surfers should be cautious of sharks. Winter brings the most consistent clean waves, with September often delivering standout conditions.
