Daytona Beach, Florida
I mentioned in my previous post that I went to Daytona Beach last week for my final college spring break. The weather was in the high 70's and low 80's all week and it only rained twice, both at night. I have to say that I was really disappointed with the surf. I went to the beach for 6 straight days and the surf was blown out for every one. Apparently the wind is almost always on shore from October to about June and as a result the surf is usually sloppy. Such was the case for the entire time I was in Daytona. Every day the surf was disorganized and barely ridable. I went in anyway of course since the water was in the low 60's, about as warm as Cape Cod ocean water gets in August. Any way you cut it it was still really disappointing, but then again you can't complain too much about being in 75 degree weather in mid-march either. Note that the picture is not mine and that we never saw anything like this...a typical day would be choppy with white-capping conditions and people on the beach getting sandblasted.
