There's Great Surfing in Florida
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.
