Nearest buoys

Several good quality lefts can be found up and down Satellite Beach breaking over the coquina shelf reefs just offshore. The best of these is RC's which can take any swell thrown at it and is often hollow

The name R.C.'s comes from the harmburger stall called 'The Royal Castle' that was there when the spot was first surfed back in the '60s. Potential negative points about RCs are the complete lack of parking, loads of water moving around when it's bigger, the odd shark sighting and the shallow reef with plenty of holes ideal for sticking your foot in!
