St. George Island surf guide

St. George Island is a surf spot located along Florida's scenic coast, known for its beautiful emerald waters. The setup here is pretty laid-back, making it a decent stop for surfers looking for a chill session. You won't find a crowd here, which is a plus if you prefer to surf in your own space. However, don't expect it to be a destination spot that draws surfers from far and wide; it’s more of a local hangout.

The surf at St. George Island generally works best with swells from the south and southwest, peaking at sizes between 3 feet (about 0.9 meters) and 6 feet (about 1.8 meters). Most waves break over sand and come in both right and left directions. Depending on the wind direction, which favors west to north, you can find some fun beach breaks here. During smaller days, paddling is pretty easy, but it can be a bit tougher when the swells get bigger. The most favorable tide heights are low to mid, making it essential to check that before heading out.

Accessing the surf is straightforward; just park along the road and walk to your chosen spot. The season for catching decent waves here runs from fall to spring, with potential activity during hurricane swells. Since this is a quiet area, there's not much in terms of local vibe, so you can enjoy your time without distractions. Just watch out for the dunes, as they can be a hazard if you’re not careful!
