Vilano is the most powerful wave in the St. Augustine area — a fast, steep shorebreak that bowls and wedges just feet from the sand, sometimes called St. Augustine's answer to Sebastian Inlet. It only works on high tide when water clears the outer bars, producing hollow, pitching barrels over coarse coquina sand. Fickle and unpredictable, but when it's on, it's world-class for the region.
