Satellite Beach
Edit SpotAbout
I think this spot is a great spot for both intermidiate level to pro level surfing. Just go out and enjoy a great florida wave.
Atmosphere:
This can be a spot for the first timers on trace swells but when its pumpin leave it to the experienced surfers only! Pretty easy take offs and not a real powerful wave. It is the normal florida break with a little more power.
Additional Info:
This is a pretty easy wave to surf but it can get big. People are nice so do not worry about the locals. Surf good and you will earn their respect. Be careful of exposed rock on low tide.
At high tide the surf over the rocks on the inside forms some pretty fast and hairy head-high slabs.
