Wabasso Surf Guide
Vero's shorter shoreline obviously can't produce the ride range of breaks found across Brevard; however, there's a strong selection of powerful, dumping mid-waves to shorebreaks for a super punchy, high tide tube zone. Because of the offshore reefs, it must be high tide for this spot to really work; however, when it's too big at most other spots, Wabasso's ridge of deep water near shore often allows swells to clean up and dump thick in the shorebreak. On the right tide and swell, the bar becomes epic for surfers of all forms. There is only a block or so of good sections and plenty of hungry mouths.
Ability Level
Intermediate - Advanced
Experience recommended due to nature of the wave.
Local Vibe
Doable
Can be territorial; humility and respect will go a long way.
Crowd Factor
Moderate
Can be uncrowded and fun, but if it's big and blown out everywhere, it can get really crowded.
Spot Rating
Fun
Occasionally gets good on solid swell events, but is mainly a go to shorebreak spot on bigger windswells. The offshore reefs clean up the surf some before exploding on the beach.

Breaks right on the beach but there is some current.

Clean
Usually very clean.
Hazards
Broken backs and necks from the shorebreak.
