Fair conditions - still worth a paddle. Tiny waves under 1ft with wind swell (short period) and light offshore winds grooming the faces Note: winds from N would be better.

Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

The Point – Fort Pickens in Florida is a sheltered point break that only comes to life under specific conditions, typically during hurricane season. Best surf occurs when southeast swells meet offshore winds from the north, producing a clean left-hand wave that peels along the point. Swell sources are usually local windswells rather than distant groundswells. It handles all tide stages well and rarely sees crowds, offering a peaceful session when it’s on. Surfers should watch out for rips, sharks, and jellyfish. Winter provides the best chance for clean, rideable waves—especially in January.
