Whitey's beach break is so-named due to its proximity to Whitey's Bait & Tackle shop just to the north. There is a small sand parking lot on the beach side of the road, and it frequently fills up early on the weekends or during the summer when there are good waves. Don't park on the shoulder or you may receive a parking ticket! The break here is best at low to mid tide. It won't be as clean as Sebastian Inlet or Spanish House on a southeast wind, but it may be less crowded. It's best for small to medium size waves. Too large and/or powerful and it tends to close out (though it can hold a large swell if the sandbars cooperate and the swell is from the northeast, such as during Hurricane Joaquin). If the waves don't look great, it may be worth a drive further north to check out Ponce De Leon Park or some of the other nearby parks in Brevard. Sometimes Bonsteel Park a couple miles to the north will break cleaner in a slightly larger swell too.

Spanish House is a short drive north from the Sebastian Inlet State Park and is named for the Spanish-style house on this stretch of beach with a terracotta roof. You will see a parking lot to the west of the road, where you can park and walk the narrow trail across the street to the beach. This spot will fill up quickly during a good swell, especially during the summer or weekends, since surfers can bypass the Inlet's entrance fee. The waves are decent for short or longboards, and tend to be a little less dumpy than the inlet, particularly as the waves approach medium size (3-5 feet). In a southeast wind, this location will remain a little cleaner than points to the north (or south of the inlet) due to the blockage of side-swell by the Inlet jetty. 

Sebastian Inlet was once one of the best, most consistent locations on the east coast of Florida. The shape of the jetty and slope of the beach would produce a wave that would ricochet off the jetty to form a head-high (or higher) right wedge that was legendary. It has since lost some of its magic and consistency, with factors such as sand renourishment projects, the extension of the jetty in 2002, and the twin hurricanes in 2004 as possible culprits. Despite this, it is still one of the best spots when the swell and/or wind is from the south or southeast. The jetty blocks a lot of the cross-chop from the southeast winds to produce a cleaner wave face than other locations. The waves can be dumpy in a large groundswell, but experienced riders can enjoy frequent barrels (especially when the wind swings to the southwest or west). A medium-sized medium-period swell (windswell of 6-8 second period), can break nicely at mid-tide or occasionally lower tide. Smaller waves during the summer months can occasionally break well here if the sandbars have a chance to build up. In a north wind or strong north swell, watch for currents that can push you into the jetty.

Due to its long, 1/3 mile paddle from shore, occasional sharkiness, and potential for large waves, Monster Hole is a spot for experienced surfers only. The Hole breaks best in a medium to large swell from the northeast. It's deeper than some of the in-shore locations, so it works best with a medium or larger swell. The current from tide changes and/or wind can be significant and sometimes requires constant paddling to stay in position. It's generally best at low tide in a light to medium offshore wind. A strong offshore wind will blow harder out here because it is further from the protection of the sand dunes, which will make it more difficult to drop in due to the spray-back and wind howling up the wave face. However, with the right conditions, surfers can be rewarded with long, rippable lefts. Baitrunners, a break closer to shore and just south of the south jetty, is occasionally fun with large waves at dead low tide. Unlike most breaks in the area, it can take a northwest or north wind without turning to total slop due to the protection of the jetty. To the south of Baitrunners is a parking lot on the beach side where the waves are potenitally good at low tide. In general, these breaks are fickle and do not work well during a strong south/southeast wind or swell direction, and typically need a day or so to reorganize if the wind turns offshore. 

Wabasso is usually rideable during a medium to large size swell at mid to high tide. Out in front of the boardwalk, the waves are steep and break quickly in shallow water close to shore and with barrels in offshore winds. Most surfers who frequent the break ride shortboards or body boards, though longboarders with supernatural abilities can sometimes catch fun rides. Due to the shorepound and strength of the wave, it is not recommended for beginners. To the south of break several hundred yards is Green House, which breaks quite a distance out from shore where there is a reef. It takes a medium to large swell to break here. Depending on the size of the swell, sometimes it breaks best at low tide and other times at mid-tide. It is thought that at lower tide with medium sized waves, the reef dampens the swell power and might actually break better with a little more water. It's a real hit-or-miss spot, and not a break to count on surfing when the waves start firing.

This is a state park a couple miles north of Fort Pierce State Park (North Jetty). It's not as consistent as Ft. Pierce and doesn't usually break well at high tide, but can be fun when the sandbars have built up over time. If Ft. Pierce is a zoo and you are learning or looking to escape the crowds, it can be a good destination because the waves aren't usually overly powerful and break far enough out to offer forgiving rides. If the swell is pumping and Ft Pierce is closing out, sometimes it breaks a little smaller and with better form here. Often you will have to look up and down the beach to find the one bar that's working best.

Fort Pierce is usually crowded for a good reason. This beach is one of the few that breaks consistently at mid to high tide, yet is still rideable at low tide (particularly for beginners, since the low tide waves break far enough from shore to generate whitewater that is rideable). The wave is steep enough for shortboarders, but breaks gradually enough for longboards and SUPs too due to the gentle slope of the bottom. Usually there are good shoulders to be had for those patient enough to wait for them. This spot also works well during small swells that may not be breaking at other spots. However, as with most wave magnets, the crowds can be a serious drawback, and the park is usually filled to capacity by mid to late morning during nice summer days or when there is a forecasted swell. Fortunately, there are good breaks to be had by walking up the beach a bit. This spot is not great with a north wind or an extreme north angle swell, when a cross chop breaks up the wave face and the current can send you towards the rocks of the jetty.

Walton Rocks, right across from the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant, is a reef break that works best at mid tide with a northeast swell. It is one of the few spots in the area that can hold a very large swell. The rocks don't make it very beginner-friendly and there are more forgiving beaches with sandy bottoms further south.

Dollman is suitable for beginners and more seasoned surfers alike. During the summer doldrums, small waves will break here where they won't be breaking elsewhere. Mid-tide works best.

Jensen Beach is another location with a sandy bottom. It breaks best at low tide. When the sandbars are good, small waves in the 1-2' range can break here at low tide during the summer.

As its name indicates, this beach is another one with a rocky bottom, so it is best for experienced surfers. Doesn't break during a small swell, but instead needs a medium to large swell during low to mid tide.
