Surfers that are sponsored, retired, construction workers, commercial fishermen or looking to get fired have already made it to Florida.
The deal is the best hurricane surf is behind the hurricane as it moves up the east coast. That is assuming a normal hurricane path.
We look for offshore winds, swells, tubes man!!!
Another option is to boogie up the coast to Long Island, RI, Block Island, etc....those beaches face S and SSE which receives a nice long swell in period and duration.
