About this Spot

Satellite Beach is a surf spot located in Atlantic Coast, Florida. The spot provides both left and right waves. Satellite Beach is known for its coral reef bottom, which can be surfed at all tides. This spot is suitable for intermediate surfers and offers regular waves with a length of 50 – 150 m. The spot is often crowded, so it’s important to respect the locals and follow surf etiquette. Check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Satellite Beach is considered a regional classic in terms of wave quality. Surfers should be aware of potential hazards such as rips, undertow, rocks, and sharks. When parking, avoid using the hotel lot and instead park elsewhere and walk to the spot. The reef can handle big swells, making it one of Florida’s few big wave spots. On smaller days, the waves can be less impressive. The public beach access is located between the Ramada Hotel and a condominium. A narrow beach leads to a rock shelf in the shorebreak. Nearby surf spots include Buccaneer, Peg Leg’s, Hess, and Perkins. Satellite Beach is part of a coastal city in Brevard County, situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Banana River. The area features 2.8 miles of Atlantic Ocean beach and is known for its unique climate, where tropical and temperate zones overlap. The region is home to various wildlife, including sea turtles, manatees, and ospreys. Beach nourishment projects have been undertaken, which may affect the natural environment. Surfers visiting Satellite Beach can expect a diverse surf experience influenced by the local geography and marine conditions. Remember to check the latest surf forecast and report before your visit to get the most up-to-date information on wave conditions and any potential hazards.
