H Surfing Playalinda Beach
Playalinda Beach is located in the Canaveral National Seashore and offers locals and visitors alike a rare undeveloped spot to test their surfing skills.
Cocoa Beach Pier
The pier is a legendary site for surfing competitions of world-wide significance. This surfing spot also is a big draw to locals and visitors due to its restaurants, shops, and fun activities throughout the year.
Lori Wilson Park
Although not really a huge surfing mecca, die-hard surfers will discover a little history of Cocoa Beach’s own surfing champion, Kelly Slater. The park is family-friendly with volleyball courts, a bath house, and a great area to relax after a hard day surfing.
Cocoa Beach Numbered Streets All along Cocoa Beach, you’ll find numbered streets, where Highway A1A splits and Cocoa Beach’s residential area begins. There are many places where you can stop along the beachfront and grab your board to try and catch some wave action.
Patrick Air Force Base
Located just across the street from Patrick Air Force Base is a little park area where you can park and enjoy surfing. The waves here are fun and peaky if there is a bit of a swell.
OTspots
R.C.’s According to local lore, R.C.’s is considered Central Florida’s best big wave spot. Park in the Publix parking lot in Satellite Beach, home of pro surfers C.J. and Damien Hobgood. Cross at the light and walk over the public beach access wedged in next to a condominium.
Indialantic Boardwalk Located halfway between Sebastian Inlet and Cocoa Beach, you’ll discover Indialantic’s Boardwalk. Shorebreak is the boardwalk’s claim to fame. The outside sandbar can be fun on a medium tide, but it is best when linking all the way to the inside. There’s plenty of beach and lots of sandbars, so you’ll have a great opportunity to seek your own peak.
Ocean Park The main break on Melbourne Beach is at the East end of Ocean Avenue. After turning left at the four-way stop, you’re on Ocean Avenue. Drive two blocks to a small short-term parking lot overlooking the beach. Nearby you’ll find sand volleyball courts, a pavilion and a second parking facility with no time limits or meters.
Spessard Holland
When a swell has other high tide spots washing through, Spessard Holland can be clean and throwing. A deep trough past the inside sandbar allows for steep waves to cascade over the drastic depth change, creating a mid-section with the feet and push of a shorebreak.
Spanish House
Just past Bonsteel Park, you’ll find Spanish House. Under ideal conditions, you’ll find a strong swell, low tide, and an offshore breeze. There’s a chance for rare Florida perfection, transforming the beach into a top-to-bottom barrel garden.
Sebastian Inlet
Popular with the surfing community since the ’60s, Sebastian Inlet is making headlines again as the site of the O’Neill Sebastian Inlet Pro Surfing tournament. Sessions at the inlet continue to set and raise standards for breaks nationwide. Swells bounce off the jetty at First Peak with extra juice that can max out the potential of a head-high wave.
