Located in Northeastern Florida, Ponte Vedra is a quality beachie on its day that breaks over a sand bottom. The waves here can be a bit challenging when it’s on and break for up to 100 meters providing some fast, wally sections. The estuary nearby can attract more than the usual amounts of sharks.

The best swells have some angle in them, coming from the North, Northeast, and South. Offshore winds come from the Southwest.
