Bob Freeman’s Weekend Surf Report For May 5-7 In Brevard County
By Bob Freeman // May 5, 2017
Weekend Surf Report
Friday: Surfers may have to search local beaches to find the better waves today. A strong offshore wind is pushing much of a nearby easterly swell just out of our surf zones. Expect clean lines in the knee- to thigh-high range ideal for longboarding. Mid-morning’s low tide will help.
SURF REPORT FOR MAY 5-7
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.

Surfers may have to search local beaches to find the better waves today. A strong offshore wind is pushing much of a nearby easterly swell just out of our surf zones. Expect clean lines in the knee- to thigh-high range ideal for longboarding. Mid-morning’s low tide will help.
Saturday
Persistent offshore winds will decrease wave heights into the mostly knee-high range with clean micro lines possible for desperate longboarders.
Sunday
I expect surf heights to remain in the knee-high range with clean lines again from a steady offshore wind.
Cocoa Beach ocean temperatures now average 76 degrees.
