BOB FREEMAN’S WEEKEND SURF REPORT

By Bob Freeman // August 22, 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.

SURF REPORT FOR AUG 22-23

SATURDAY: Surf heights this Saturday morning are in the shin- to knee-high range with very weak conditions. This morning’s lower tide may offer a short ride or two for desperate longboarders.

SUNDAY: I believe Sunday’s surf will remain mostly in the knee-high range. An expected early onshore wind will produce bumpy conditions making the very small surf even more difficult to ride. However, these onshore winds could increase surf heights much later in the afternoon.

I am watching a southeasterly swell source approaching our surf zones by Tuesday. This should build surf heights back into the thigh to waist-high range for several days.

Cocoa Beach ocean temperatures now average 81 degrees.
