Hurricane Surf Florida—is chasing East Coast hurricane swell worth it or just hype? In this Pinch My Salt episode, We break down what really makes hurricane surf work in Florida: swell angle around the Cape, offshore wind windows, big tide swings, sandbar shape, and why perfect-looking cams still hide mushy walls. We compare spots from Cocoa Beach and Sebastian Inlet to New Smyrna, Fort Pierce, and Hatteras; talk lineup etiquette and why “the spot everyone lies about” stays quiet; and explain the board choices that matter on storm swell (fish vs shortboard vs glider/noserider). You’ll get first-hand stories from Florida’s surf mecca, quick history on Sebastian’s jetty changes, plus real talk about FOMO, nine-hour drives, and whether you should just fly to Costa Rica instead. We also shout out local shapers (Ricky Carroll, Cronin, Fat Cat), cover wide point forward/back, rails and volume for windy takeoffs, and how drones changed the game. Planning a hurricane mission during the 2025 season—or just love Florida surf culture? This is your score vs bust field guide.
