Pass-A-Grille Jetty sits at the southern tip of St. Pete Beach on florida - west coast, where the jetty structure helps organize the otherwise mushy Gulf swells into rideable, peeling waves. The spot faces due west into the Gulf of Mexico, meaning it picks up whatever wind swell or tropical energy rolls in, making it one of the more consistent surf options along this stretch of coastline. Its forgiving sand bottom and slower wave shape make it accessible to newer surfers, while the jetty itself creates fun little bowls and sections that keep more experienced riders entertained during a good swell.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Pass-A-Grille Jetty is 0-1ft with a 2.3s swell period. Wind is E at 9mph. Conditions are rated Very Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Pass-A-Grille Jetty is 0-1ft, produced by a 0.7ft SE wind swell swell at 2s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.

Our Pass-A-Grille Jetty forecast uses NOAA GFS and other weather models combined with spot-specific bathymetry to calculate breaking wave heights. Short-range (1-3 day) forecasts are most reliable; extended forecasts show general trends. We also verify our offshore swell predictions against NOAA buoy measurements daily — see our accuracy page for those swell-verification metrics (buoys measure open-water swell, not breaking surf size).
