Rob Mitstifer •Today
Chest high surf central/western beaches as E windswell builds in. Moderate ESE winds.
Better spots see peaks up to chest+ high this morning. Surf is nothing great but it is summer and it's rideable. Shape/form okay for what it is. The direction means very small surf for PCB though, so look west for more size. Strong ESE winds, so look to the west side of piers/jetties for best conditions.

The Pumphouse is located midway between Sandpiper Cove and Two by Fours, where a pipe flushes the Destin Harbor with clean gulf water. Look for the low block building on the right after you pass Sandpiper Cove, and park along the road. When you get to the beach, you'll hopefully see a buoy marking where the outflow is. Otherwise, it's opposite the pumphouse, about 250 yards out. It's mostly a winter wave with a big outside take-off and hollow inside. Read more
