The surf was up the day before tropical storm Ida. The point at Fort Pickens is a surfer haven when the surf is large. When everywhere else is too blown out, the point offers some clean surf on an east swell.
My family and I camped at Fort Pickens that weekend. We brought the bikes but not the boards. So, on Sunday after us campers were told to evacuate, we loaded up our stuff and got to take up surfing- not on water but through the camera lens. Here is a collection of surfing photos taken by my wife and I.
