BOB FREEMAN’S WEEKEND SURF REPORT FOR MAY 6-8
By Bob Freeman // May 6, 2016
SURF REPORT FOR MAY 6-8
FRIDAY: This morning surfers will find mostly knee-high waves with clean lines from a steady northwesterly wind. Late morning may present the best conditions for desperate longboarders as the receding tide will offer longer rides.
SATURDAY: Surf heights will decrease some into the knee-high range with clean lines continuing from a persistent northwesterly wind..
SUNDAY: I believe waves will run in the knee- to thigh-high range with clean conditions again from a diminishing westerly wind.
Cocoa Beach ocean temperatures now average 78 degrees.
