More about 8th Ave. South surfspot

General: Nondescript beachbreak south of the Jax Pier pressure cooker, 8th Avenue South is probably just as consistent as any other beachbreak around here — consistently so-so. It will, however, accommodate a range of swells and tides, particularly N/NE swells on incoming, but isn't known for handling anything more than a foot or two overhead. It’s divinely spread out, though, with no rhyme or reason to its peaks. Many nor'easter drift sessions end up right around here. Tides: Low incoming to medium Size: Waist-a little overhead Wind: E Swell: NE through ESE to SE swells usually the best Bottom: Sand Paddling: Easy but moderate on bigger swells. Spot Rating: Just your typical average Florida beachbreak.

Park at the public access.

Fall-Spring, Hurricane

Crowd Factor: Not usually crowded. Local Vibe: Laid back.

Looks murky but some of this are natural tannins that come out of local rivers.

None really, just the typical Florida sea life.
