Rougher chop and more dangerous conditions than usual are par for the course for South Florida seas in the winter. This weekend will prove the point with a storm system off the East Coast which is predicted to bring in heavy winds, waves, and rip currents. While this will undoubtedly (and thankfully) keep many out of the water this weekend, it could be an opportunity for some surf kayaking.
Now before you get all excited to try a new sport, kayaking in the surf is not for beginners and does require some practice in calmer conditions without rip currents before trying your luck in rough seas.
If paddling in the surf is wetting your appetite, take a look at these surf kayaking photos to give you an idea of what you're dealing with in fairly manageable conditions.
