Sebastian Inlet is an A-frame jetty break on the coast of Brevard County, Florida, USA. On the right day, the ideal swell window runs from NNE–ESE (30–110°); groundswell with periods around 8–14s gives it the most shape; the wave is comfortably workable up to roughly 8 ft on the face. Best winds are W or NW, with SW or N still rideable. Tide influences the wave moderately, so timing the swing helps line up the better sets. The sweet spot in our data sits between roughly 0.1 m and 0.8 m of tide height. Consistency is moderate - good days come in pulses tied to incoming swells. Expect warm, boardshort-friendly water. Expect a packed, competitive lineup whenever it is on. Logistically, it is about 35 minutes from MLB airport. Intermediate surfers with reliable bottom turns and paddle fitness will get the most out of it. Board-wise, locals lean on shortboard or fish.
The best window is typically Sep–Apr, when swells from NNE–ESE (30–110°) are most consistent.
In our data the spot is workable up to roughly 8 ft on the face on the right swell and wind, beyond which it usually becomes unmanageable or closes out.
It can be friendly on small days, but the lineup is usually competitive and not the best fit for first-timers.
