About This Spot

Florida's most consistent and high‑performance wave, Sebastian Inlet fires when groundswell wraps around the jetty. First Peak delivers fast, hollow rights over a shallow rock‑sand bottom, while Monster Hole (a shoal 1/3 mile offshore) holds bigger, more powerful surf. Intermediate surfers can score world‑class rides when they respect the lineup.

Local Etiquette

Sebastian is known for heavy localism—never snake or drop in. Wait your turn and respect the pecking order.
