The Mayport Poles
Edit SpotAbout
When its good the left bowl is long and fast. It can get zoolou crowds when a big Noreaster is starting to subside , but then other spots start breaking.Show respect cause lots of rippers in the water.
Additional Info:
The most consistent spot in north Fl. Holds large swells while other spots are closing out. Large jetty shields against Noreasters. You can't walk north to better break because of the US army.
Don't mean to bust your balls but when you said "you cant walk north to better break because of the US Army"?...i think the branch of service you are looking for is the Navy...they are quite different my friend
