Sandy Key surf guide

Surf: General: This spot is at the Sandy Key Condominiums, just west of Johnson's Beach. A local old-timer said there are pilings from an old pier that could contribute to the sandbar. There's a decent outside peak, and a mid-break that's surfable all year. To find it, turn left off State Road 292 and take a right on Sandy Key Drive. Park along the road. Tides: Mid to high Size: Thigh-shoulder high Wind: NW, N, NE Swell: E, SE, S Bottom: Sand Paddling: Easy paddling. Spot Rating: Pretty average spot overall. No one is driving here solely to surf this spot. Access: Public. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Normal to heavy. Local Vibe: Mellow. Environment: This is the emerald coast, so named due to the water color. Hazards: Typical sea life like sharks and jellyfish. Season: Fall-Spring, Hurricane
