cocoa beach surf report

Friday: Knee high with maybe a lucky bigger set at the better spots and tides. Swell is out of the east around 1.2 feet at 8 sec seconds, the primary size driver this morning. Winds are cross shore out of the SSW around 8 mph this morning, holding fairly steady into the afternoon at 5-9mph SSW, so conditions should stay relatively consistent through the day. Tides LT 10:08am, HT 4:56pm.

Weekend: Saturday: A touch smaller, shin high with occasional knee high sets out of the ESE at 8 seconds, but cross shore south winds 2-11mph keep conditions on the lower end. Tides HT 5:04am, LT 11:07am, HT 5:54pm.

Sunday: Sunday looks a little cleaner. Swell holds around shin to knee high at 8 seconds out of the ESE, and SW winds going offshore at 5-14mph should groom things nicely. Still small surf, but the cleaner shape should make it ridable for larger boards. Tides HT 6:03am, LT 12:06pm, HT 6:52pm.

Looking Ahead: Monday we are down to the small to near flat range as the swell dies out a little. We may see a little knee high bump for the mid week but other than that it’s looking to be in the shin to lucky knee high range at the moment.

cocoa beach surf break information

The Cocoa Beach Pier breaks on almost every type of swell! North swells are best in the chest to head high zone. South West winds will are perfect for grooming the sets.

Widely known as the surfing capital of the East Coast, the primary attraction to Cocoa Beach is the weather. With its prime positioning where two climatic zones (sub-tropic and temperate) meet, our weather usually avoids extremes. This unique coastal location attracts wildlife indigenous to both climatic zones, as well as migratory species and it is the primary tourist destination on the Florida Space Coast.

In downtown Cocoa Beach near Minutemen Causeway, an area known as Cottage Row offers a variety of specialty shops set up in charming old Naval housing. Cafes, nightclubs, and fine-dining establishments flank art galleries, bike rentals, and specialized surf shops. With an active nightlife and array of eateries, Cocoa Beach has established itself as an exciting locale among visitors as well as locals. Enjoy live music on the Party Deck at Coconuts On The Beach or the very fine martinis at Heidi’s Jazz Club.

Ron Jon Surf Shop is a destination unto itself as the “World’s Most Famous Surf Shop.” The Cocoa Beach Surf Company surf complex next door is another must see as it includes a hotel, surf school, travel agency, and tour operator. Cocoa Beach is also famous as the location of the “I Dream of Jeannie” television show that aired in the 70s. The Sunday Farmer’s Market and the nature trail at Lori Wilson Park are enjoyable excursions to add to any Cocoa Beach getaway.
