Peg Leg

Peg Leg (also listed as Peg Leg's) is a low-profile Atlantic reef break near Satellite Beach. The bottom is shallow coquina reef with rocks just below the surface, and the shorebreak is narrow—creating an intense, punchy takeoff when conditions line up. Because the reef is very shallow at low tide, the same factors that make the wave work can also make wipeouts dangerous, especially around dead-low conditions. For surfing, the spot is described as a reef-break that can offer both right and left wave directions, with wave quality generally characterized as good. It’s reported to perform best at low to mid tide and with east to northeast swell, producing fast, peeling rides over the reef peaks. On stronger swell, the break can become less rideable and may close out when swells build significantly. Wind-wise, west winds are identified as offshore and are described as helping groom the face. Frontal weather systems are part of the wind pattern, and afternoon sea breezes are commonly noted in spring and summer. Typical wind ranges are described around 10–20 knots, with light gusts; the wind is noted as more reliable during cold front season. Safety-wise, the main concerns are the very shallow reef/coquina rocks and sharks, plus a localized surfing culture. The spot is described as rarely crowded, but still requires attention to reef depth, submerged hazards on the paddle out, and respectful surf etiquette.
