Surfing the Space Coast
Click below to see surf cam for that location

Bob Rohman at PlayalindaThe Space Coast of East Central Florida is a mecca for East Coast Surfing and has produced some of the top surfing talent in the world, including 11 (and counting) time world champion Kelly Slater of Cocoa Beach, and surfing twins C.J. and Damien Hobgood of Satellite Beach. Many sections of the Space Coast Beaches are great for learning the sport, particularly around the Cocoa Beach Area, while others are better left to more experienced surfers such as first peak at Sebastian Inlet and Monster Hole, about 1/4 of a mile offshore of the South Jetty at Sebastian Inlet.

North Area
Playalinda Beach, Canaveral National Seashore.
Playalinda means "pretty beach" in Spanish, and Playalinda Beach east of Titusville lives up to the name. Its part of Canaveral National Seashore's 26 miles of undeveloped beach stretching from New Smryna Beach in the North to the massive Space Shuttle Launch Pads to the South, so when surfing here bring everything you need for the day, there are no shops for drinks, food, etc.
Playalinda is a beach break, sand bottom, with rights and lefts and being North of the actual Cape of Cape Canaveral, the beach faces E-NE so it will go off better on a northerly swell. It is a beach for all experience levels and during the week will be relatively empty and on weekends crowds are usually moderate.

Spanish House
Located across A1A from the access road to the Sebastian Inlet Marina, this sandbar break is one of the best spots on the east coast of Florida, and one of the most popular, in spite of the drive, as it is fairly distant from most major cities along the Space Coast. It is a bit off the shore with some deep water between the bar and the shore. During normal conditions it produces consistent waves of average power with lefts and rights and is suitable for all surfers. When it gets big, the waves are fast, powerful, and hollow, and draws surfers from around the state, ie, it gets crowded and is best left to experienced surfers.

Sebastain Inlet State Park, North Jetty
When first peak goes off, this spot produces some of the fastest most powerful waves along the East Coast. It is a jetty break and the energy from the incoming wave bounces off the north jetty and forms a raised peak in the wave just north of the jetty. Obviously the direction is right only. The wave is fast, powerful, and hollow, which is why several tournaments are held here each year. On weekends this spot can be ultra crowded. Best for experienced surfers who can hold their own in the lineup.

Monster Hole, Sebastian Inlet State Park
Monster hole is a sandbar and reef structure about 1/4 mile off of the tip of the south jetty at Sebastian Inlet, with deep water between the bar and the shore. During the normal relatively flat days of Summer you can't even tell it's there. It takes a swell of about 3-5 feet to set it off. When it does break, it produces fast, powerful, and hollow lefts that peel off for 100 yards or more. The place is also known for sightings of large sharks. Not for beginners. Access is by boat or a long paddle from shore. Some surfers have been known to jump from the north jetty and paddle across the inlet. When surfs not up the place is known as a dive spot.
