Stormrider Description
Ocean Ave has average peaks over outside sandbars at lower tides.
Often crowded, possibly due to a large cross-section of the surf industry being based in Melbourne/Indiatlantic area. Home to the voice of ?The Right Coast,? otherwise known as Eastern Surf Magazine.

Local Knowledge
With most of the surf spots being beachbreaks, you must constantly check the area to see where the best sand is at the time. However there is a coquina reef/sandbar break that is consistently good. If you live here you know where this is. Waves are usually small or non-existant. However when it is on it can be as good as it gets just about anywhere. Especially in hurricane season. I have surfed Indo, Australia, Mexico (mainland and Baja) California, Puerto Rico, the Virgins, have a house in the Bahamas and used to live in Central America. Nevertheless, the warm water and people of Mel-Bch will always make this home. Here's to those surf days when the wind, swell and tides come together over that coquina rock that keeps us surfing quality waves!

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
