I’m 66 years old. Born and raised in Florida. Have surfed my entire life. The best waves I have ever surfed in Florida has been at the north jetties in Jacksonville Florida. When it’s happening that place smokes.... and everybody knows it.
I mean isn’t that how most surf is created? Pensacola is the coco beach of the gulf with the exception of having the cleanest water in the gulf, and it being the best spot for swells in the gulf. Besides maybe Navarre pier or cotton bayou access on orange beach depending on the certain storm. It was the only spot with a surf shop on the pier till recently.
The gulf coast gets plenty of good ground swell in the spring,fall, and winter. Storms are just a bonus in the summertime when its flat. Just this past March-April in pcb there has been a good swell at least once a week here.
@@russbolton947 First and second peak. Those side wedges angling towards second peak from first offered some really fun sections and take off drops. All but fond memories now for those lucky enough to have experienced it.
You can only surf Miami Beach maybe once to twice a year if lucky monster hole is a good spot but far offshore and full of sharks road reef is 2-3 most of the year as well
Fools ! There's a spot on the SW Gulf coast that's as good or better than half these breaks ........and the most people Ive ever seen out on a good day is a handful ! South of Venice and North of Naples ! Only way to find it is to have money and a boat or the ability to walk and swim for a long long time just to get to it ! Oh yeah ........it's a known Hammerhead breeding ground and even if you find it ..........the weak minded won't make it out because some places feel sharky .........this place is littered with 6-8' blacktips,big bull sharks and hammerheads !The only other place I've seen as many big sharks is Monster Hole ! I've been knocked up into the air by a huge hammerhead at this spot and I still surf it when it breaks ! Needs an overhead swell to even start and the bigger the better ! NW swell with NE winds ! Morning after a cold front is when it's firing and it only will work for about6-12 hours ! Rare yes .........better than 95%. of the places surfed in Florida ? For sure good luck and happy hunting ! You'll know if you find it ! It's a short sketchy left slab onto an almost exposed crushed she'll sandbar and a right that can peel for a good 100-150 yards ! The currents are treacherous and staying in the zone requires lots of paddling ! Fortune favors the brave though ! Here's a hint if the Naples pier is waist high from a NW direction this place will be chest to shoulder high ........and board snapping barrels ! I've seen a few east coasters that where savy enough to find it but after getting skunked a few times and breaking boards on the shallow unforgiving sandbar or getting all cut up and bloody in an already snarky spot ........they stopped coming !
Haha south beach is best from July-Nov. Worst time in FL to surf unless there is a Hurricane offshore. Typically it's winter cold fronts that bring the swells. Garbage video.

Bought my first surfboard from Nomad in the 70's. Great board. Glad to see they are still around.
It's wild how the Gulf can be a flat lake for weeks at a time, then BOOM, the right swell & wind pattern come along, creating 5-6 footers!

Pensacola Beach?! Lol. It’s a beautiful beach, but the only time there is any surf is when there is a big storm out at sea.
Thanks for your opinion

New Symrna Beach for sure 🤙🏽
ya but that has jellyfish and sharks and stuff
Sebastian is no longer a break. You’ll need a Time Machine if you wanna surf there.
First peak?

@@jacobsmith4284 I came there in 2000 with a friend from there and he took me to first peak. I borrowed his funboard. It was a great time 🤙🏻
Which surf break is the most consistent from February to April ?
Cocoa beach
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Jacksonville Jacksonville, that's Tony in surfing in El Salvador! haha
clearly some of the pix are not Florida.
sharky sharky 🙂
new smyra has so much sharks u should at least say that

What would be the best place to learn surfing in Florida, among all these, for the first timers?
Wabasso
Coco beach is for sure the cheapest and easiest to learn at
Haha. Live in the OBC and its awesome! I’m glad they didn’t mention it 🏄🏼♂️
OBC ?
@@irishman3375, Ormond by the Sea (OBC)
Nomad 🤙🏻
Born in Florida, tampa and also lived in Melbourne Beach, Venice jetty South and North side's has great waves when a swell is present. Gulf coast.
I wouldn’t recommend Sebastian inlet. Never has waves.
And the water's warm. No wetsuit needed.
Im looking for bigger waves than the typical florida ones.. do you know any nice beach on the east coast of the US?
El Matador State Beach, San Gregorio, Laguna Beach, California...Cannon Beach, Oregon...Galveston Island State Park, Texas
Move to the west coast
Northern California
Prolly south beach Miami. Gets big with good swells. Delray is good when there are a good swell a lot of crowd tho
Jersey
Go to South beach.
0 waves
Go to the OBC
I live in nsb
👍👍👍
I live in Ormond Beach/Ormond by the Sea “the OB Sea”. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else for surfing. It’s nice with few crowds
Can you do one in New England
Ok, I will try
Thanks for your comment.
Definitely used photos that are not Florida. Sounds like computer based research and not actual surfing experience
annoying robot voice and most of the photos are NOT in Florida...
