More about Upham Beach Park surfspot
General: Besides being the final surf option north of Champa Bay, Upham Beach is also one of West Florida's best pointbreaks. On a good day, Upham can produce 100-yard-long rides. A classic right that peels slowly and holds its power all the way into the beach, Upham's best wave comes on a NW swell and is rideable anywhere over two-feet. Tides: Mid to high Size: Thigh-1' overhead Wind: Onshore to generate some surf, NE, E for clean conditions Swell: W, NW Bottom: Sand and rocks Paddling: Easy most days, can be a little more challenging on the bigger windswell days. Spot Rating: Another key spot in the Pinellas County area, this is usually a post frontal windswell spots. Soft and slow, this wave attracts a crowd, but it's not as good as it was back in the 80's.
