BOB FREEMAN’S WEEKEND SURF REPORT

By Bob Freeman // March 18, 2016

SURF REPORT

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. — Cocoa Beach ocean temperatures now average 73 degrees.

SURF REPORT FOR MAR 18-20

Bob Freeman has been surfing Brevard's waves since 1966. — Bob Freeman has been surfing Brevard’s waves since 1966.Waves are not looking very fun this morning. There is plenty of northeasterly groundswell remaining, but onshore winds from passing storms are producing sloppy conditions.

FRIDAY: Expect fun surfing conditions this Friday morning at all popular surf spots. Light offshore winds, a moderate northeasterly groundswell and warming ocean temperature will make the waist-high waves even more enjoyable.

SATURDAY: Surf heights will hold in the mostly waist-high range with bigger waves near chest-high occurring along Brevard’s southernmost beaches. An onshore wind will produce semi-bumpy conditions.

SUNDAY: I expect surf heights to decrease down into the thigh- to waist-high range, but with cleaner conditions from an offshore wind.

Cocoa Beach ocean temperatures now average 73 degrees.
