Florida, United States · 26.2522, -80.0844

Best wind
Any direction with an easterly component (NE-E-SE) per the exact candidate source; avoid a truly offshore setup and reassess shorebreak/current.
Hazards
Open-ocean launch with shorebreak, swimmers/surfers, rip/longshore current and a reef/inlet influence. The exact source says the reef reduces rather than removes shorebreak; maintain foil depth, avoid Hillsboro Inlet vessel traffic and never rely on an offshore wind.
Parking & access
Official Zone 2 includes 16th Street North Ocean Park. Parking is enforced year-round; beach parking is prohibited 11 p.m.-6 a.m., and current rates vary by weekday/weekend/holiday: https://www.pompanobeachfl.gov/residents/parking/parking-faqs
“Great wingfoil and kite spot. The reef near Hillsboro inlet lessens the shorebreak. Works on any wind with east. Requested-field batch 10 verified 2026-08-01: exact, nearby, regional, alternate-access, route, business-pin and community-candidate relationships remain explicit; unresolved items remain Unknown.”
