St. George Island
Edit SpotAbout
Never a crowd and it is nice to see new folks out there surfing.
Atmosphere:
The island has great surf on south swells, but the points at either end have shallow water shoals and no decent waves.
Additional Info:
St George is like much of the Gulf coast. It is the closest beach to Tallahassee. We find it surfable mostly in the winter and if a tropical swell comes in. You have to watch the weather to make this wave count. We have some beach parking along the road east and west of the hotel and shop areas. Have fun and the locals are great. Thanks
