EP 89 | Chasing Hurricane Surf: Worth It? | Pinch My Salt

Get $10 Off at BRUNT with code: SALTY  at https://bruntworkwear.com/salty  #BruntpodHurricane Surf Florida—is chasing East Coast hurricane swell worth it or just hype? In this Pinch My Salt episode, We break down what really makes hurricane surf work in Florida: swell angle around the Cape, offshore wind windows, big tide swings, sandbar shape, and why perfect-looking cams still hide mushy walls. We compare spots from Cocoa Beach and Sebastian Inlet to New Smyrna, Fort Pierce, and Hatteras; talk lineup etiquette and why “the spot everyone lies about” stays quiet; and explain the board choices that matter on storm swell (fish vs shortboard vs glider/noserider). You’ll get first-hand stories from Florida’s surf mecca, quick history on Sebastian’s jetty changes, plus real talk about FOMO, nine-hour drives, and whether you should just fly to Costa Rica instead. We also shout out local shapers (Ricky Carroll, Cronin, Fat Cat), cover wide point forward/back, rails and volume for windy takeoffs, and how drones changed the game. Planning a hurricane mission during the 2025 season—or just love Florida surf culture? This is your score vs bust field guide.#HurricaneSurf #FloridaSurf #EastCoastSurf #ChasingSwell #HurricaneSeason #SpaceCoast #CocoaBeach #SebastianInlet #NewSmyrna #Hatteras #MiamiSurf #SurfTrip #StormChasing #SurfingPodcast #PinchMySalt #Yansy #SterlingSpencer #SurfCulture #SurfComedy #SurfBoards #LocalShapers #RickyCarroll #CroninSurfboards #FatCat #BoardDesign #WidePointForward #OffshoreWinds #WindVsSwell #MushyWalls #ScoreOrBust #HypeVsReality #SecretSandbar #SurfEtiquette #FOMO #FloridaEastCoast #SurfForecast #SwellAngle #SebastianJetty #EastCoastBarrels #FloridaWaves #HurricaneChase #DroneClips #LineupDrama #SurfCommunity #SurfHistory #KellySlaterCountry #BoardQuiver #Longboard #Fish #Shortboard #Glider #Noserider
