16th Street South near Indialantic is a semi-mushy wave that serves as a better high-tide spot than much of Brevard's southern coast. It can be partially blocked from NNE swells by Cape Canaveral but performs well on strong NE swells. The nearby Boardwalk area has real local surf heritage, having been the home break of former WCT pros Bryan Hewitson and Danny Melhado.
