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.
Spanish House is the first parking area north of Sebastian Inlet and is named after a long‑demolished Spanish‑style home. A shallow coquina reef and sandbar give the wave extra push, producing punchy top‑to‑bottom barrels on strong swell. It's a challenging wave suited to upper‑intermediate surfers.
