Pelican Beach Park Surf Guide
Satellite Beach is home to some of the more consistent, lesser-known breaks in Brevard County, especially when there's a bit of swell in the water, as it manages to keep long-period swells from shutting down. You can thank the coquina reefs that line the best spots, making for waves that are generally more open-faced than hollow but still push back, offering sections to punt or power gouge -- especially when it's overhead.
