new smyrna beach surf report

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

new smyrna 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.

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!

Hurricane Lee poised to bring big waves to Florida beaches

Surf News 3 months ago

Hurricane Lee is currently cruising through the Atlantic as a powerful Cat 4 storm with winds up to 155 mph.  As of the latest Spaghetti models there is no danger of Lee making landfall in Florida, which is promising, but how close it will come is still a little uncertain. If the current projected course holds turn we could be looking at a...
