Big Hickory Pass Surf Forecast

Big Hickory Pass is a tidal inlet break on florida - west coast, nestled between Bonita Beach and Little Hickory Island near Fort Myers Beach, where the pass channels water between Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The spot faces ENE and relies on rare but rideable groundswells that wrap into the Gulf, with the tidal flow through the pass helping to shape sandbars that can produce punchy, short-period waves during tropical storm season. It's a novelty wave by Florida standards, best surfed on a solid west or northwest swell combined with favorable tidal movement, making timing and local knowledge essential.
