General
It can go from sloppy storm surf to glassy fun sections, all around good surf spot and good vibe. Unfortunately, they have dredged this spot and put T-Groins in which have all but killed the wave.

RIP Upham Beach - Upham is dead, its had T Groins installed, inflated ugly ass yellow bags filled with sand that destroyed the break there. There is no more surfing at Upham Beach

Upham - Friendly surfers and good conditions after a good storm. Hard to get past the break during hurricane Dennis.

Upham - Yes. Thank you very much "Coastal Preservation" people for runing our surf break. I was skeptical when when everyone was hopeful about those T-Groins improving the break. and now it's DESTROYED!!! It doesn't even break anymore. And for the record - Upham was always mushy. No - it was never Pipe, but it was OUR break here in St. Pete and much of our little culture embraced it. It's dead now thanks to burocracy and condo owners.
