Melbourne Beach at Ocean Avenue is notably deeper than other Central Florida spots, reducing the close-out factor that plagues shallower breaks to the north on large swells. Sand shifts throughout the year change the character from a mushy outside wave to a strong shorepound. When small, semi-mushy conditions attract longboarders and local groms. A mellow neighborhood feel in one of Brevard's older beach communities.
