Sebastian Inlet

Sebastian Inlet is a jetty break in Melbourne Beach, FL, covered by a free live cam from Visit Space Coast.

About the Break

The inlet’s jetty creates a sandbar-and-jetty break known locally as “First Peak” and “Monster Hole,” holding size and shape better than most Florida spots thanks to deep water close to the jetty. It’s a competitive, well-known lineup that draws surfers from across the state on any real swell. As a jetty break, the rock structure shapes a more consistent peak than an open beach, generally suiting intermediate-to-advanced surfers comfortable surfing near hard structure.

Surf Etiquette at Jetty Breaks

Jetty breaks form where a rock structure shapes the sandbar, which usually means a more defined, consistent peak than the open beach on either side — and a more consistent crowd drawn to it as a result. Stay aware of the rocks themselves, particularly at lower tide or in close-out sets that can push you toward the structure. The standard right-of-way rules apply, and because the peak is more fixed than a shifting beach break, it’s worth spending a few minutes watching how the lineup is rotating before paddling out.
