40th Street in Miami Beach is a fairly exposed beach break that offers left and right hand waves and can work at any time of year. Despite being in the heart of Miami Beach, it is rarely crowded — most people on this stretch are sunbathing, not surfing. More exposed than nearby spots, making it a good option for uncrowded peaks when NE groundswells are running.
