What is your favorite spot to surf in Florida?
What is your favorite spot to surf in Florida?
Surfing Florida
Surfing in Florida can be a waiting game, but good waves do come to those who wait. Based on the Sunshine State's location and weather patterns, Florida can quietly churn some fun waves for local surfers.
Bahamas (Eleuthra)
Warm, crystal-blue water in an exotic Caribbean setting, what more can you ask for? Eleuthra has tons of good surf and is very consistent in the winter months. Also, they said if you mention Surfing.about.com, you will receive 50% off your room charge. Sounds like a deal.
North Shore Surf Spot Map
This is a very cool and very interactive page brought to you by the folks at the Triple Crown...They even include some previously unmentionable waves.
Santa Barbara
Great info on surfing the Santa Barbara area...Local knowledge.
Surf The World
Just pick a country or region and find a list and map of known surfspots in that area. Very cool and comprehensive.
Sunset Beach
Very few waves in the world can compare.
Jeffery's Bay
This is the kind of wave we dream up in class when the teacher is lecturing: a swirling right-point punctuated with perfect barrels and blue water.
Mavericks
My God! Have you ever seen a bigger, colder, sharkier bone-crusher than this Northern Californian right-hander?
Sebastian Inlet
O.K...So this isn't exactly a world-class spot, but Sebastian tries really hard. This link supplies not only info about and beyond the inlet, but also includes an interview with Kelly Slater.
