Complete Guide to Surfing Florida
Year-round warm water surfing on both coasts, with New Smyrna Beach, Sebastian Inlet, and Jacksonville delivering the most consistent waves on the Atlantic side. Florida waves are smaller and shorter-period than the West Coast, but hurricane season (June-November) brings overhead surf and hollow barrels. Water temps range 65-85°F - boardshorts work from May through October. The Gulf Coast picks up rare but clean south swells. East Coast breaks respond best to nor'easters and tropical systems tracking north.
