Haulover Inlet North Side
Edit SpotAbout
It is a Miami Classic, mellow and friendly crowd that gets pretty happy whend this breaks.
Atmosphere:
Showers are on the right, as you drive to the exit facing north.Be careful when padling past the jetty as the incoming tide may suck you into the inlet. If that happens, let it go in before trying to climb the rocks.
Additional Info:
Spanish is handy when surfing this spot, as you may have to scream when dropping at the break. Be careful with swimmers, there are lots during the weekend that BBQ and drink all day, then come for a swim right at the break, some pretty drunk.
Location
Loading...Access
Driving on A1A, it is south of Sunny Isles or north of Bal Harbor. If you are heading south, turn right at the kite shop and go under the bridge to the spot. If you are driving north, turn right into the park after the bridge. Watch out for speeding limit, cops will fine you. Parking on south side stupidly expensive.
