The waves here sometimes break, with a length of less than 50m. Calle Hermosa is known for its medium tide conditions and is often uncrowded. Nearby surf spots include 17th Avenue, Pensacola Beach Pier, Pensacola Beach, Navarre Beach Pier, and Spuds. Surfers should be aware of potential rips and undertow, as well as the presence of sharks in the area. The spot can be good with either an offshore swell or a choppy wind swell over 5ft. When conditions are favorable, it can get crowded, but it’s also known to be completely empty at times. To reach Calle Hermosa, go over the beach bridge, pay the toll, and continue straight after the light. Keep heading down the beach until you reach the last neighborhood on the right side of the road, where you’ll see a sign for Calle Hermosa. If you reach Portofino, you’ve gone too far. It’s important to check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. When the spot is crowded, remember to respect the locals and follow proper surf etiquette.
