Bob Freeman’s Surf Report For April 14-16 In Brevard County

By  //  April 14, 2017

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.
Friday: Surfers will find building rough surf in the waist- to chest-high range. Steady northeasterly winds will produce very bumpy conditions. Saturday: Surf heights will increase into the chest- to head-high range with bumpy conditions continuing from a strong easterly wind. Beware of strong undertows and dangerous rip currents. Sunday: I expect surf heights to remain in the chest-high range with very bumpy conditions again from a steady southeasterly wind. Cocoa Beach ocean temperatures now average 73 degrees.
