 The
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.

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.
