Gulf Shores, AL

Hope you score dude! would be amazing if that worked out for you

never been but i would love to pull of an alabama strike one day, im rooting for ya

 

orange beach all da way bra!

 

Bang some Hindus Brahs.

 

Guff Sho has a ton of bars. But, this time of year, the place is full of "snowbirds", old geezes in motor home. Pcola may be your best bet for nite life and beach combo.

 

The Gulf is the Gulf, alotta mushy, bumpy, washing machine... but, there is usually something logable out there if you look.
Sometimes, it can surprise.
If that L in the Carribean enters Gulf, might get a lil ground swell with some fetch to it
Good luck!

If you get swell on the buoy in the Yucatan Channel heading from the south, you will get waves. I was living in Montgomery, AL and we'd drive down to Panama City Beach and head west and we would find something (late spring is good there once in a while). Just west of the Florida state line is a place called Alabama Point, and if it is over shoulder high sell, it will break way way outside near the buoy in the channel. Don't pay the shorebreak no mind. Look way outside and see if you see whitewater near the buoy every so often. I know Pensacola has waves - there is a spot called Pine Trees, but I've never surfed it. Enjoy the fried seafood and the local splittail.

 

Thanks for the link chad! Good luck emass. I know there are some webcams I used to check when I was working in New Orleans and considering making the drive. Just do a search. Hope you score.

 

they dont like yankees with big mouths or weed, so keep a low profile

Only on Yankees that don't need to be there.

 

yea, so like I said, Emass, look out, Sandblasters hate clan is gonna be gunnin for you after they dp Blasters sister

 

It's a shame you weren't down there right now, looks like they just had some waist+ glassy conditions that are coming to a close right now. I noticed it when looking at the radar for PR. SI has the swell ending right now. It's worth getting out in the water, waves or no waves, just watch out for oil slicks.

 

spring is usually the most consistent time for surf in that area...but going all the way to pensacola from gulf shores is unnecessary.

Perdido pass in Orange beach is an hour closer than p-cola, but has about the same surf. There's a good sandbar sticking out just west of the pass and a bunch of mini sandbars all the way to the pier. If it's big and windy from the east, the west jetty ("Alabama point") is the best option in the entire panhandle.

 

That's the spot, but if you're lucky, it will be breaking on the outside. I was the only one who paddled out there, way out there by the buoy. All the locals ( six of them) were surfing the shorebreak at about waist to chest. It was head high rights into the channel on the outside, and I had boaters coming up to me asking it I needed help getting to shore. "You allright?" I bummed a Budweiser off one of them. It was nice and cold. Southern hospitality is no myth.

 

Pcola is full of zoomies, squids, and other "heroes" so that means the wives will be there too. Plus the local inbreds may be looking to get some new genes in their pool. I.E., Plenty of pooswah.
