BOB FREEMAN’S WEEKEND SURF REPORT

By  //  July 25, 2014

Waves are looking mostly unrideable this morning. Late-morning's lower tide could help make the small waves more rideable by then. Surfers seeking an early morning surf session may want to focus on Cocoa Beach's northernmost beaches for a longboardable wave.
Ocean water temperatures are in the 80 degree range. Don’t forget to wear a rashguard and apply sunscreen.

SURF REPORT FOR JULY 25 –27, 2014

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

FRIDAY: Waves early this morning are running in the knee-high range in the Cocoa Beach area with clean lines from an offshore breeze. Late morning’s lower tide should make the small waves more rideable.

Ocean water temperatures are in the 80 degree range. Don’t forget to wear a rashguard and apply sunscreen.

SATURDAY: Saturday’s surf will average thigh-high with semi-clean conditions from an early morning offshore breeze. Early morning’s higher tide will force many surfers to search out high-tide friendly beaches in the Cocoa Beach area.

SUNDAY: I believe Sunday’s surf will increase into the thigh- to waist-high range. I expect clean conditions again during the early part of the day.
