Additional Information
this spot mainly has wind chop. not very consistant. breaks well. get good medium sized swell during hurricne season and also durin a windy wind swell. the only way to surf it well is just to milk the wave.alot of parkink less than a block down..if you can surf here you can surf anywhere with surf from 2-8 foot easily.
Atmosphere
its a pier whick is a sand bar beach break. lots of bait fish, stingrays, and an occasionally shark. lots of KOOKS. most groms rip pretty hard due to the difficulty of the wave.
General
not all perfect waves. must be a dedicated surfer to surf here. most surfers have fun surfing here though. probaly one of the best breaks in ft.lauderdale.

Where to surf near Ft. Lauderdale? - Hello, I'm from Portugal and next year I will study at the art institute of fort lauderdale and since here in Portugal the thing I like best is beach, kitsurfing, jetskiing and surfing I would like to know where in ft. lauderdale, or somewhere near, can I have surf lessons and good waves to surf after that.. and perhaps you guys could also tell me more about the weather in ft. lauderdale, all year round.. I've been warned about hurricanes and stuff like that, but are they that common? usually how long do they last, I mean, how long will we have bad weather when an hurricane strikes? something like that... and perhaps talk also a bit about the city, and nightlife and stuff like that.. thanks!

No Waves, but Beautiful. - I lived across the street to this beach at the beginning of hurricane season, 2006. I could see the waves brake form my living room. I saw pictures of this beach and expected at least something. However, there was nothing. There were two days that were surfable, but nothing really worth remembering with regards to waves. I am told this place gets descent waves, but with size comes chop and mush.I recommend getting into diving, fishing, skimboarding, and kite surfing. I have toured Hawaii and it can’t compare to the reefs and water clarity around this peer. Every fish I couldn’t find in California would fearlessly come up to me whether I was snorkeling or walking along the shore. The younger, local surfers apparently skimboard when there is no waves and have pulled more impressive maneuvers that I have seen at The Wedge and 1000 Steps (10th Street). Kite surfers, though rare, also wow spectators with their skills. The water is always warm and clear. I recommend this beach to ocean lovers that don’t have to surf to enjoy the beach.If you want waves, drive up to Coco or Sebastian. Though, don’t expect much and put on your driving shoes.
