More about St. Andrew's Park surfspot

General: One of Panama City Beach's better spots, The Park is located inside St. Andrews State Recreation Area. The Park has two main breaks, and both are good inside and outside spots. Right next to the jetty on offshore days is a very fast, ruler-edged, hollow lefthander. If it gets big enough, you can ride it all the way to the beach from the outside. A few hundred yards to the west is a right and left peak. It breaks close to the beach and has a good outside for longboarders. The crowd is dispersed well by the two breaks, and the waves at the Park keep the pack at other spots, such as Amazons and Shell Island, manageable. Tides: Low going high Size: Waist-overhead Wind: NNE, NE, E Swell: SE, S, SSW Bottom: Sand Paddling: Easy on small days, tougher paddle on larger swells. Spot Rating: High quality wave when it is on and the jetty affords good wind protection. It gets really packed here but there is also a lot of room to spread out. Packs a punch when it is big.

Getting caught by the rangers for sneaking in early.
