About this Spot

Ocean Gallery is a surf spot located in Atlantic Coast, Florida. The spot provides both left and right waves. It’s a beach break with a sandy bottom, suitable for all levels of experience. The waves at Ocean Gallery work best during medium and high tides. This spot is known for its regular wave frequency and wave length ranging from 50 to 150 meters. Ocean Gallery typically sees few surfers, offering a less crowded surf experience. The spot is part of a 24-mile stretch of beach, featuring multiple peaks that allow surfers to spread out rather than crowding into a single lineup. Parking is available at the Ocean Gallery Condos resort. Surfers should be aware of potential hazards such as rips, undertow, and the presence of sharks in the area. It’s important to check the surf forecast and report before heading out. When surfing Ocean Gallery, respect the locals and follow proper surf etiquette, especially if the spot becomes crowded. Always assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your surfing level. Nearby surf spots include D-Country, Dondanville Road, Lighthouse, St Augustine A-Street, and Crescent Beach. Ocean Gallery is known for its classic A-frame wave shape, with a slower peeling right. The spot can offer uncrowded waves that are comparable to, or even better than, those at A Street and Matanzas Inlet. Beach access is available by driving on the beach from High A1A south or through the gate at Ocean Gallery Condos. Remember to check the surf map and webcam (if available) for current conditions. Late takeoffs can result in collisions with the sandbar, so timing is crucial. The warm water temperatures for much of the year make Ocean Gallery an attractive spot for surfers seeking comfortable conditions.
