About

Really only comes to life maybe 5-10 times a year, but is a fun spot that undoubtedly produces better waves than most sandbars in the Lauderdale area.

not all perfect waves. must be a dedicated surfer to surf here. most surfers have fun surfing here though. probaly one of the best breaks in ft.lauderdale.

Atmosphere:
its a pier whick is a sand bar beach break. lots of bait fish, stingrays, and an occasionally shark. lots of KOOKS. most groms rip pretty hard due to the difficulty of the wave.

Additional Info:
South side fires on good N or NNE mid period groundswells that sneak down to Broward during hurricane season or on winter swells. Point-style lefts reel off after a ledgy takeoff hugging the pier pilings when the sandbar is established. Also works well on winter NNW refraction swells. Can also improve shape and provide some wind-blockage on messy NE wind chop days, and both sides can be fun on smaller SE wind chop.

Access

From the intersection at A1A and Commercial Blvd head east to search for what few parking spots aren't in use by the hordes of pasty-white tourists.
