Quality Control Needed
Blowhole is not a "world class" break. It does not break for 300-500 meters on a "good day". While I have never seen it at 5 meters in swell height (and I'd bet money the person who put it here hasn't surfed it above head high), I HIGHLY DOUBT it can hold it.It's a good area wave and one of the better ones in Florida. From talking to those who surfed it in the 1970s and early 1980s it used to be better.
