Pensacola Beach Pier
Edit SpotAbout
Its a great spot : A little tip, go during the winter wait till the winds are strong out of the south and then they will switch out of the north the next morning thats when to go youll see one or two guys and a long hollow wave all yours for the taking
Atmosphere:
its crowded and sometimes the local guys can really get mean ive had a few fights myself
Additional Info:
Its a good left and on a bigger day over head high from the south with light east winds youve got a long steep hollow wave that you can get a good ride on and when its bigger and you cant get out from the inside sandbar you can paddle by the peir and there is a deep spot and only 1 or 2 waves break through there every couple minutes but if you take the channel out watch out for hooks, sharks, clean up waves that will smash you into the peir and a strong current
