Bellair Beach
Edit SpotAbout
Gets hollow,can be wedgey and very ledgey/steep!
Great wave to get tubed on or pull into some closeout tubes,maybe get a few head dips or cover ups at on a small glassy groundswell.
Atmosphere:
Fun wave,pretty much grew up surfing it and points north of it and points south of the skyway as a preteen to a teenager.I am now 21 and I still head there or Sand Key before anywhere else!
Additional Info:
Very shallow onshore sandbar with a deep back.Waves come in from 8' deep water and right on to a sandbar that's about 2-3' deep and only 1/2 a foot on the inside.Sandbar can also be very hallow...3" shallow!!
