BOB FREEMAN’S WEEKEND SURF REPORT

By Space Coast Daily // April 19, 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. — Sunday’s surf will remain in the thigh- to waist-high range with bumpy conditions again from a steady southeasterly wind.
