BOB FREEMAN’S WEEKEND SURF REPORT

By Bob Freeman // August 15, 2014

GOOD MORNING, SURFERS!

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 73 degree range. Don’t forget to wear a rashguard and apply sunscreen.

SURF REPORT FOR AUG. 15 –17, 2014

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

FRIDAY: Waves early this morning are running in the thigh-high range with clean lines from last night’s off shore breeze.

This morning’s incoming high tide push should provide more waist-high sets at the better surf spots.

SATURDAY: Saturday’s surf will average thigh-high with clean conditions again from a light southwesterly breeze. There could be a few surprise waist-high sets, but not as many as expected for today.

SUNDAY: I believe Sunday’s surf will decrease into the knee- to thigh-high range with clean conditions again.
