What do you mean by a pretty hostile scene?Caught a bad one in Santa Cruz when I lived in Cali. Wasn't surfing (pretty hostile scene there) but, yeah, like they say, don't fight it and you'll hit land/shallow eventually.
A lot of folks, who consider themselves strong swimmers (and they might be, in a POOL) find out, sometimes,too late, how huge of a difference ocean swimming is. IOW, if you're not positive you can swim for an hour out there, don't go past your f***ing waist.

Has Mexico Beach rebuilt since the hurricane devastation from a few years back? I went there once about 15 years ago and it was the quietest most relaxing beach trip I have ever been on. Back then you had to go to PCB to eat though because other than a Subway, pizza place and Toucan's there wasn't' much of anything in Mexico Beach.Was in the panhandle last week (Mexico beach) and the waves were unlike anything I’ve ever seen on the Gulf side, but you still were able to get in the water there. I read it was awful in PCB/Destin.
I think it’s one of those things that’s easier said than done. “Swim parallel to the shore” sounds cake until you feel like you’re being sucked under water.
Rebuilt but not back like it was. Still stuff under construction.
