Default Sun/Mon east coast SURF ALERT!....but where to go?

The swell/wind maps are showing a nice windswell for Sun-Mon. My favorite spot to go on a NE is Jetty Park in Cocoa B. but the waves will be better as you go further south and the only other place ive Kited down there is Jupiter. Raul was talking about Bathtub Reef in Ft. Pierce, but that place is sharky and reefy...with deep holes you can get wedged down into anyone headed east to kitesurf some waves? Know any good spots, that are ideal for these conditions: http://magicseaweed.com/Gulf-Coast-M...rts/9/wind/in/
????????

thanks!

Phil

You can't get wedged into those holes, and those are just lil' spinner ankle biters that you won't feel...........

You need a different wave setup for a kite almost than a surfer.

I don't think monster hole would work good, esp with surfers in the way.

What you want is side to side off conditions w/ waves coming off a long jetty like ft pierce inlet, jupitor inlet, jetty park etc

I'll take side on wind as well if thats all I can get

With those winds -- which i'm assuming is NE?-- where would it be good for a beginner to go?

OK Raul, Rob H and Chris are going too....safety in numbers! Rob wants to do MonsterHole (talk about sharks) Im up for anyplace really, we should all carpool in Chris's Dodge Sprinter and save gas$ My goal is wind+waves but there is going to be some awesome flatwater at SW Sunday so it will be hard to leave unless we LEAVE EARLY

I did monster hole with Rob about 6 years ago.
It ain't no joke. Turtles were everywhere, literally.
I saw two get eaten. It ain't no joke.
