2 spots
40th St is an Atlantic sandbar surf zone at Miami Beach in Miami Beach. The representative coordinate marks nearshore water, not a fixed takeoff; sandbars, currents, and access conditions can change.
South Beach is better known for its vibrant nightlife than surfing, but when a strong N/NE swell sneaks around the Bahamas, this urban beach produces overhead hollow waves. Waves crash onto hard‑packed sand with serious power, making it a challenging spot for upper‑intermediate surfers. Outside of rare swells, the break is mushy or flat.
