By Bob Freeman // February 27, 2015

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 temperatures now average 63 degrees. A fullsuit for early morning surfers may provide the best option.

Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach surf spots may provide the cleanest lines. Watch for wave heights to increase into the waist-high range by mid afternoon.
