cocoa beach surf report

Wednesday: Small day. Knee high with lucky bigger sets for most. Strong NW winds are pushing down the surf in most spots.

cocoa beach surf forecast

Thursday:  Winds start brisk and onshore but then vary in strength and direction as an area of high pressure moves over the state but they should stay moderate  for the afternoon.  Wave size may tick up just a bit to the thigh with a few bigger sets zone but should be pretty clean.

Looking ahead: We see a little dip in the surf on Friday with moderate onshore winds.  There might be a touch more size south of the Cape.   I’m still seeing a possibility for a little bump on Saturday but SE winds in the low teens will chop it up a bit.  On Sunday we are looking at strong South winds so a south protected spot will be the way to go if you plan to paddle out.  Winds shift to the North for the start of next week setting up for a choppy North wind swell turning onshore and bringing some big chunky conditions for next week.  The models are in disagreement of what happens next as an area of low pressure moves over the state and into the Atlantic so stay tuned.

cocoa beach surf break information

Downtown Cocoa Beach surf break, home of Mai Tiki and the famous Beach Shack! This beach breaks on any swell and the bigger the better! Keep your eyes open cause there's plenty of other hot beach activity going on.

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 Minuteman 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.
