Spent my whole life heading upcoast on the weekends. Anytime there were waves down south, we'd surf Franklin Street. Didn't even think of heading South. We probably missed some really nice days as it NEVER broke like that in Dania.
I was fortunate enough to catch it even bigger and cleaner with offshore winds back in the winter of 82. Solid 8ft with occasional bigger sets. Remember arriving at the beach and being able to see the waves cresting over the sand dunes from Collin’s Ave at sunrise. It only lasted about 2 1/2 hours until the wind and tide changed. That’s when Bird’s surf shop was still open in Sunny Isles.
