BOB FREEMAN’S WEEKEND SURF REPORT

By  //  April 9, 2016

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.
Cocoa Beach ocean temperatures now average 75 degrees.

SURF REPORT FOR APRIL 9-10

Bob Freeman has been surfing Brevard's waves since 1966.
Bob Freeman has been surfing Brevard’s waves since 1966.Waves are not looking very fun this morning. There is plenty of northeasterly groundswell remaining, but onshore winds from passing storms are producing sloppy conditions.

SATURDAY: Surf heights are holding in the waist-high range with plus size sets from South Cocoa Beach down through Melbourne Beach.

Increasing winds now shifting from the NW to the North are creating very bumpy and drifty surface conditions.

Water is warm but early northwesterly winds felt winter-like during my Dawn Patrol surf session this morning up in the Cocoa Beach area.

SUNDAY: Surf heights will build during the afternoon into the chest-high range with bumpy conditions from a steady onshore wind.

Cocoa Beach ocean temperatures now average 75 degrees.
