Canova Beach is located at the end of Eau Galle Causeway and is known as one of Indian Harbor Beach's most noticeable surf spots. It's mostly an average beachbreak with a mix of coquina and sand bottom. While it doesn't attract huge crowds, it can be fickle compared to other nearby spots like Satellite Beach to the north or Indialantic to the south. Despite this, it does tend to come alive during bigger Northeast swells, making it a potential go-to when conditions align.

The surf here is generally better at lower tides, with wave heights ranging from about knee-high (0.6 meters) to a few feet overhead (3 meters). The best swells come in from the NorthEast, but it can handle swells from the North and SouthEast as well. The wave breaks over sand and offers both left and right-handed waves, which can be fun for surfers. While the overall vibe is below-average for a beachbreak in Central Florida, the waves can get fast down the line, though they slow down as they approach the beach. This spot can be a good option for different board types, including shortboards, fish, funboards, and longboards, catering to various surfing abilities from beginners to more experienced surfers.

Access to Canova Beach is pretty easy with full facilities and parking available just off Eau Gallie Causeway. Crowds here can be random, with surfers often spread out, and locals aren’t usually seen that often. The surf season runs mainly from September to March, making it a good spot to check during autumn and winter when conditions can improve. Just keep in mind there are some hazards like sharks and lightning, along with those pesky coquina rocks that can be exposed on the inside.
