BOB FREEMAN’S WEEKEND SURF REPORT FOR MAY 13-15

By Bob Freeman // May 14, 2016

Surfers will find fun waves at all locations

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 78 degrees.

SURF REPORT FOR MAY 6-8

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.

FRIDAY: This morning surfers will find mostly knee-high waves with clean lines from a steady northwesterly wind. Late morning may present the best conditions for desperate longboarders as the receding tide will offer longer rides.

SATURDAY: Surfers will find fun waves at all locations this morning. Last night’s offshore breeze will continue through most of the morning. Waves are still running in the solid thigh-high range with occasional bigger sets during late morning’s high-tide push.

SUNDAY: I believe waves will decrease down into the knee- to thigh-high range with clean conditions again from a northwesterly breeze.

Cocoa Beach ocean temperatures now average 78 degrees.
