Gulf Coast surf

Hey everyone
My parents have a timeshare in Tampa where we've been going since I was really young...they have great scuba there, but the surf could be better (or maybe I just need a change of scenery). In any case I've been trying to get them to swap it out for a different location but they really like the west Florida coast and don't want the hassle. If I do wind up convincing them someday, though, are there any other spots you can recommend in the gulf where the surf is a little different?
