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.

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!
