new smyrna beach surf report

Friday: Knee to very lucky thigh high from ENE at around 6 sec. The swell angle is not helping the situation in most spots. Light NW winds swing to the north for the afternoon.

Weekend: We stay on the small side on Saturday.  The next warm front passes over on Sunday shifting winds to the S/SE while the build to around 20 mph.  Expect modest SE wind swell conditions with northern Fl seeing the best chance at some decent size at 7 sec from the SE. 

Looking ahead: Expect SE AM leftovers, mostly for north of the Cape, as winds turn offshore for the morning cleaning things up for us.  Winds shift more to the north and build late in the day adding some north wind swell chop in so getting on it early may be your best bet.

Models are predicting a fairly wide NE wind field building a good sized NE swell starting at around 7-8 sec from the NE on Tuesday with brisk NE winds.  It looks like Wednesday may be a cleaner 10 sec leftovers day and worth keeping an eye on but it starts a downward trend for the rest of the week so be ready.

new smyrna beach surf break information

New Smyrna Beach's inlet is one of the most consistent surf spots in all of Florida. When most everywhere else is flat, there is usually a rideable wave at "the inlet".

While it is best on north swells, it can be equally as good with a straight east swell and wind direction. A hundred yards or more away from the rocks at the inet can also be fun on south swells. If it is a sizeable south swell, then you may want to head to the other side of NSB Inlet to Ponce Inlet in southernmost Daytona Beach, which is one of the best spots there is a solid south swell.

During the summer time I must warn you though, it does get extremely crowded with not only surfers of all skill levels, but also with tourists on boogie boards. If you surf here in the summer time

PLEASE be respectful of others in the water but beware of some of the more territorial locals

that have paid their dues and have been here for decades.

Thanks for checking out my report.

Stay Wet!
