Atmosphere
I only went out there twice in early December cuz The report said that West Palm would be firing. When I got out there it looked like Rocky Point(without the point). Overall the wave is fun and hollow. I got pitted 3x but only made it out once. The locals are friendly just don't drop in and respect them this is their beach. It was relatively uncrowded and everyone respected everyone's space. No jackasses trying 2 surf everybody was ripping. Know your role. Good vibes.

Don't bother... - I've caught some of the best waves I've ever caught in Florida here. 3 years back during a hurricane swell, don't remeber the name, it was head-high barrel after barrel. It's since been messed up due to all the sand they put here. The jetties are what used to make the waves great, there are no more jetties although it still breaks but not even close to how it used to. This is my "home" break since I live less than 10 mins away, yet I'll still make the drive upcoast if there's waves. If it's waist high at Flagpole, it's chest to head high up in Juno/Jupiter...make the drive.

rufus - like the other man said, added sand/killed jetties = river; walk to sunset and drift all the way back on the n/n.e swell/chop days
