About This Spot
The Cocoa Beach Pier is Florida's most famous surf landmark and home to legends like Kelly Slater. The pier breaks on almost every type of swell, with chest‑ to head‑high north swells producing the best waves. It's a mellow wave well suited to beginners and longboarders but can offer punchier sections when hurricane swells wrap in.
Local Etiquette
Be kind to beginners and give plenty of space. Respect the fishermen on the pier.
