Bob Freeman’s Surf Report For January 20-22 In Brevard County

By Space Coast Daily // January 21, 2017

has been surfing Brevard's waves since 1966

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. — Saturday: This morning’s winds from the Southwest are producing semi-clean lines in the thigh- to waist-high range. Sunday: An approaching cold front will keep winds offshore but these winds will be much stronger than Saturday’s. I expect surf heights to run in the waist-high range with bigger surf along Brevard’s southernmost beaches. Cocoa Beach ocean temperatures now average 70 degrees, but will drop into the upper 60s early next week.
