Additional Surfing Infos |
| | FA has suffered the fate of the Army Corps of Enginers. They have dredged the entire area from the Ocean Trace ramp to the state park and, while creating some other interesting breaks, have definitely ruined FA. It is no longer there, now there is just a peaky little beachbreak where it used to be. If you really want to go surf this area just go walking around north or south of the pier and find a peak, sread out, because there are plenty of peaks for everyone. Keep in mind the old adage "Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd." Just because there is a hundred guys surfing one wave does not necessarily mean it is the best wave in the area, especially when you are talking about florida beachbreaks. So go searching!
Limited Parking on weekends due to tourists. Most locals walk or ride bicycle anyway.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
This break can really go off with the right swell and tide movement. I have had words with a few whiny longboarders, but for the most part it's a laid back place. |

General |
This is one of my favorite spots whenit's doing it. |
