Matanzas Inlet is where the Matanzas River meets the Atlantic with no jetties to stabilize the constantly shifting sandbars. Both the north and south sides break, with the best peak often in the middle of the inlet mouth. Waves can peel for up to 100 meters when conditions align. Check conditions from the A1A bridge before paddling out — strong tidal currents and heavy shark presence are ever-present.
