Going to be visiting Florida this winter. What beaches would you recomend checking out for some surf?
flying into Orlando and I think staying somewhere in that general area. I'm willing to make a drive if needed!
From Orlando head east on the Expressway straight to Cocoa, or stay East on I-4 and find Ponce Inlet / New Smyrna Beach Inlet, either one usually has a wave. on NE swells, Cocoa and Smyrna will be working, on SE you'll score at Ponce. Hope that helps
Anywhere from ft pierce/sebastian north to Jacksonville will be your most likely area of scoring some swell north of the bahamas shadow. Check the forecast 4 or 5 days out from your flight though, south florida and/or the gulf can get good too, it just doesn't happen quite as often.
