Nfla vs. Central fla

Beachbreak, winter months in CFL and it's not a far ride from Palm Beach which has been on my surfing bucket list -reef rd. only reason i'd consider NFL year round is because i'm not too deep into FL. i read the news, sht gets weird in FL - i wouldn't want to be in the middle of it

 

There's plenty of weird in Jax, who you kidding? Hahaha

 

Sounds like Palm Coast. Nice infrastructure, great home values, golf courses, marinas, and near I-95. 5 minutes from Flagler Beach, a consistent, and picturesque uncrowded surf spot, and you're 30 minutes to Ponce Inlet, another cool spot to surf, not too crowded on the north side. NSB is another 15 minutes drive south if you want access to the most consistent break in the the state. And it's pretty laid back up there in Palm Coast/Flagler Beach.. Excellent fishing too.

 

Yea... I spend a week there tooling around one winter. Was really happy with the surf potential and the access to other stuff to do. Another beautiful place was even further north... the Amelia/Talbot area. I thought it was a pretty amazing place, and would definitely live there. Lots of natural areas... kind of wild for still being so close to Jax.

 

Move into Disneyworld; get a job there, pretend to be a mouse and have fun......

 

Well there ya have it! End of thread. He's moving to JAX!!!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!

 

If you have money, Ponte Vedra Beach is a good choice too.

 

will have to check that out. Good prices? Ive been looking in the St Augustine area and like what i am seeing there.

 

I'm surprised nobody is mentioning the Stuart area. Based on not than many trips south (but enough to convince myself it wasnt just random luck), all in the winter, the zone from walton rocks, stuart rocks, Hobe seems like where i always find the best waves. Far enough south to be warm all winter, far enough north to pull in swell out of the E and NE, and the rock/reef bottom seemed like it held up waves with better shape than the sand bottom up in Melbourne and Cocoa.

 

Keep thinking that lol And btw, there are rock reef bottoms around here too.

 

I surf Jensen Beach and North Hutchinson Island, they are nice beach and reef breaks there. Stuart Rocks is a hassle, still to this day.

But don't move there. Too many bridges, too much traffic. Also, the green algae coming out of Lake O during the summer, big thick mats of toxic algae, makes the fish die off, and waterfront living a cesspool. Property values are down, especially along the St Lucie River.

Hobe Sound is nice, but boooooring. Some like that. The water is spookey, but the waves are pretty good, and uncrowded (que up the Jaws music).

Hit me up next time you're in the area and I'll help you score.

 

I remember a place called Sampertons, an old restaurant/motel, it's been torn down 10 years ago. But there is a reef behind there. Somewhere north of Archie's State Park. I can't figure out exactly where it is anymore.

 

Arch has his own state park? That sum b*tch! HAHA Yeah, there's a few spots that have some of that coquina rock reef, there doing construction on one up around Satellite as we speak, be interesting to see how it affects things when they're done. What's there already is pretty good and grooms the waves nicely. My favorite spot in the area is all sand though, but its' nicely packed sand, not soft and shifty like some other spots Mitchell may be referring to.
