 Florida Surfing
Swimming is as natural as
breathing to some Floridians and the Atlantic Ocean provides the
best waves and Florida's only surfing beaches.

One of the best surfing spots on Florida's east coast is
Sebastian Inlet, and, in particular, the southern shores on Orchid
Island. You can rent boards here, and there are many surfing
competitions on the weekends.
Monster Hole is also a hot spot,
when the surf is big. Monster Hole is located about 1/3 mile off
the beach, on the south side of Sebastian Inlet.
The
Sebastian Inlet State Recreation Area,
lies where the Atlantic Ocean meets the brackish waters of the
Indian River section of the Intracoastal Water. It has 3 miles
of near-perfect beaches, is one of the most popular state parks
in Florida and considered by many to be the best surfing spot on
Florida's east coast. You'll find surfing competitions on the
weekends, along with festivals, fishing tournaments and parties
of every kind.
Cocoa Beach is also a local surfing favorite. Also known as
the Space Coast, this is the east coast's surfing capitol. Visit
the piers for surfing festivals, bikini contests and beer
drinking competitions. Need a new board? Cocoa Beach is home to
the world famous Ron Jon Surf
Shop where you can rent a board or browse the huge t-shirt
and water sports equipment selection.

The main swell season in winter from November to March gets the swells
from North Atlantic low pressures, generating surf from anywhere
between 1-10ft.
