BOB FREEMAN’S WEEKEND SURF REPORT

By  //  May 10, 2014

Good Morning, Surfers!

The combination of less wind and dropping tide could make for fun conditions today during the late afternoon for after school or after work surf sessions at your favorite surf spots.
Ocean water temperatures will average 70 degrees and could warm into the 72 degree range by Sunday. A spring suit or a vest may be all that is needed for an early morning surf session. (Image for SpaceCoastDaily.com)

SPACE COAST SURF REPORT FOR MAY 9 – 11, 2014

Bob Freeman has been surfing Brevard's waves since 1966.

FRIDAY: Look for small weak surf today in the knee- to thigh-high range. A steady southeasterly wind will produce sloppy surface conditions. A vest may be all that will be needed for our 73 degeree ocean temperatures and sunny skies this weekend.

SATURDAY: Saturday’s continuance of onshore winds will build waves into the thigh- to waist-high range. The bumpy conditions will present a challenge to longboarders, but may offer some fun peaks for capable shortboarders.

SUNDAY: I expect thigh- to waist-high surf with bumpy surface conditions to remain for Sunday from steady southeasterly winds.
