Sunrise Surf Guide
This once highly highly localized spot is a bit tamer. Go to spot on windswells and can be some fun chunky wedges even if the wind is onshore. NE swells can get big here with basically no continental shelf thanks to its position close to the Florida Current. This spot can handle any size thrown at it and have seen faces 20'+ on the biggest swells. When it gets big, grab a bigger board and be ready to paddle.
