You all may remember a guy that used to surf with us before he got a dog and broke some bones 🙂 Well, his name is Mike and he’s back !

Dammit! I hope I'll be able to see Mike catch a wave, from down here. His dog was tellin me he's surfin again now that his dog is house trained :) — Dammit! I hope I'll be able to see Mike catch a wave, from down here. His dog was tellin me he's surfin again now that his dog is house trained 🙂

These shots are from the great ENE swell that hit us on Wednesday for the chest to overhead glassy day, February 22nd. It was closing out pretty quick out back here on Johnson, but there were still some nice rib to chest high waves with even a bigger set rolling thru.

These shots are a sequence of Mike, who by the quality advice of the boardwalk advisement group, were taken of Mike while surfing Dr. John’s squatters rights South Surf break at Johnson. But since the Dr. was not in, Mike took the long ride for the day, perhaps. At least for while I was standing there feigning the work of photo taking.

Surf Report; we have a weak, no fetch to speak of wind swell coming in probably Sunday afternoon late almost direct North with a hint of East. Down South may see something late Saturday, chop slop North wind stuff, but the Cape is totally blocked out of this one until maybe

Yeah baby, I got another turn on here before you close the door. Image 3 of 7 sequence. Rip Van Mike

Sunday afternoon late. And then some onshore chop thru maybe the week, with a chance of Thursday or Friday of the offshore winds for a few hours. The part for Tuesday thru Thursday comes in Tuesday, piggy-backing the former N swell, and as far as the Tuesday part 2, it comes mostly from the East, so everyone should get a piece of that.

It ain’t gonna be pretty, but it will be some head high waves probably somewhere along our Cape to Satellite corridor 🙂

Determined to line up between the 2 buoys. Image 4 of 7 sequence.

Once we start to see part 2 coming in Tuesday, we’ll start tracking the offshore winds day.

Hope you enjoy the pics of Rip Van Mike. His style was great for being asleep that long 🙂

Looks like he's thinking about using this wave as his bus ride in...image 6 of 7 in sequence.

He may not admit it, but this must be a satisfaction and a thank your creator for this great stuff, meditative moment.

Have a great weekend.

Nice rib to maybe chest high right at Johnson Ave. Surfer? Who? 1 of 2 shot sequence. From February 22 ene swell.

I’ll post more in the next week from a couple killer rides by Sunny, and Rip Van Mike who finally woke up after a few broken bones. He still ain’t over the hill, but I’ll save that for another day. It needs to be handled with care 🙂

Nice wave, the third shot it closed out, but the short burst looked really fun. Image 2 of 2 shot sequence. Photos by Oldwaverider

It was an awesome session late today! Started out rib to occasional chest high at the Cape, beautiful sets, nice drops with a few turns and a quick exit. I just watched and shot some images.

Ron I believe. Perfect form and smooth style for the "out of towner", just kidding. Image 1 of 5 in sequence.

Then Chad and I headed down South for an 11 AM sesh, and for the first half hour it was like 1 in 15 waves were makeable at best, but nice head high faces on the drop with a quick closeout, and then it changed. It started to hold up a little better, maybe 1 in 8 would hold up, and then we got some of those 70 to 100 yard shoulders pumping most and some times all the way to the beach. Almost all lefts. A few select rights. Brother Chad nailed at least 2 or 3 of em in the 100 yard plus range, with one solid, did I say solid?; 150 yard right from far outside, all the way to 1 foot deep water, and used that as his bus ride in 🙂 He smoked it. I got the perfect left (except for a small epileptic surge on a few re-entries) to take me most of the way in 🙂 A bunch of rail-grabbing left take-offs for chasing speed up high on the wave.

Image 2 of 5 shots in sequence. I believe its Ron.

Most of the outside sets were shoulder high, and maybe a head high set rolled thru every now and then. See new chart, compliments of thewavecaster.com here.

Surf Thursday is looking to be maybe thigh at the Cape and waist in Satellite. Strong strong offshore winds. They may even blow it flat tonight, but I suspect there may be a trickle for 2 hours in the morning and then done…………………

Tuesday night Surf Update/Report (8:45 PM Feb 21) for Wednesday “possible epic but most likely real fun :)” swell South and hopefully at our Cape. Surfing Photos from O’ Club and Johnson Avenue. Surf Forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach (February 21 2012 posted)

February 21, 2012February 21, 2012 by oldwaverider, posted in A summary of How the Waves were, Brevard Surf Predictions Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach, Brevard Surfing Photos - general swells

A nice chest high I hope to see on the larger sets Wednesday morning at Johnson Ave.

The 120 buoy has hit 11 feet twice at 13 to 14 seconds since 5 PM, and the 20 mile is too soon to expect the swell from the 120 buoy yet. Since the last 11 foot reading at the 120 was 7:20 PM tonight which would take 6 hours maybe 7 to hit the 20 mile buoy, so I just have to accept that the swell angle was a little to steep today and that big Cape sticking out there doesn’t want to let things come thru. I thought it might be chest high by dark, but it never really climbed above waist high from the 2 times I checked it today, and one 2 hour session out. But it was fun, even though it closed out pretty quick.

In Satellite, I expect to see at least one of this size to roll thru for Wednesday morning for us.

Wednesday, maybe the extra 16 ° removed from the angle will let the brunt of the swell in. It went from 56 degree to 72, so maybe that’s east enough to let it in Wednesday.

Here is thewavecaster.com wave height scale chart.

Wednesday, I still believe that it will hit some chest high sets for the Cape and head high in Satellite with some overhead sets. I put some pictures in here that I feel will show the expected swell size and form.

The water was warm today 68, and Wednesday air temps looking to be 79 by mid-day, but about 66 degree for a 9 am recommended paddle out time. High going low, with high tide at 7:52 AM, so 9 am water time, with SW winds at 7 mph for Cocoa Beach going SSW at noon at around 9 mph. The Cape winds look to hold about the same winds with only about a 3 or 4 hour window of SW winds, and then SSW by noon onward.

Have a great sesh!

Monday night Surf update/Report (Feb 20) 9:00 PM for Tuesday and Wednesday, Surf Forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach (February 20 2012 posted)

February 20, 2012February 20, 2012 by oldwaverider, posted in Brevard Surf Predictions Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach

Wednesday is still painted for the now, “epic” day potential. 4 days running, the models have been showing 5 ft 11 second period swell (groundswell) with a chance of offshore winds. Chest to Overhead, North going South to Satellite Beach, with larger sets.

That offshore wind forecast for Cocoa Beach as of multiple checks by me today for Wednesday morning is showing, WSW winds at daybreak 5 mph SSW by 1 PM (yeah, the time is iffy along with the wind direction, but…we are in our 48 hour window or less, where I place 80 % stock that the winds will comply 🙂 Then the winds are to turn S to SSE after 1 PM.

Oh Tuesday, my bad; same forecast as Sunday night with waist to chest high in the Am, 6 to 10 mph SE winds and decreasing thru the day. The swell is growing fast thru the day so a couple hours before dark, we should see some Shoulder high faces on the larger sets at the Cape, and definite overhead sets down South in Satellite Beach.

Get pumped.

Air temps max around 73 PM Tuesday, and around 79 and Sunny on Wednesday with some clouds. Water temps near shore around 68.5 so Wednesday will be skinnable, definitely rash-guardable 🙂

Wednesday February the 22nd, for 3 days straight has appeared to be the “Big Sweet Day”…..Glassy at some point on Wednesday, and chest to head high waves, ranging from North to South….I’ll continue this update below…

JOHNSON AVENUE UNKNOWN SURFER – GALLERY , Here’s a plug for Old-timers…The photos gallery here are from February 5, Sunday, from Johnson Ave. I have some days that my pop ups are lookin the same, I don’t know who this is, but I’m stoked to see him out there.

A friend of mine through my church, Greg, had to quit surfing a little over three years ago cause it kept blowing out his shoulder. He turned 90 years old in 2011. He was hired the First year of N.A.S.A. , an Electrical Engineer I believe, and when N.A.S.A. was started in 1958, and he had surfed from then time until 2008 some time.

Turned into a clean thigh high cruiser. Image 2 of 3 in sequence.

Of course the reason he quit was because at 87, he also plays tennis 2 or 3 times a week, and since surfing is inconsistent and works your shoulders pretty hard, he’d best choose doing something where he could at least use his shoulder more consistently. SO THERE YA GOT IT, WE HAD TO DO A PLUG FOR OLD OLD TIMERS 🙂

He's gotta be stoked, it's all fun ! Image 3 of 3 in sequence.

Surf Update for Tuesday thru Thursday (2/21 – 2/23)…Tuesday morning we’ll have an ENE windswell showing some waist high waves maybe rib here at the Cape, and chest high down South until late afternoon when the full blown ground swell should hit. Before dark, we may have some just overhead faces down South and chest high plus here at the Cape, with ESE winds in the 7 to 10 mph range probably. The winds actually look to be backing down to under 10 mph thru the close of Tuesday day.

Wednesday, we ought to have some solid chest high lines at the Cape with some bigger sets, and shoulder to overhead down South in Satellite Beach, 2nd light. Winds sometime Wednesday maybe at day break, could go SSW around 10 mph, so your best call is somewhere South of 8th Street South to enjoy offshore winds. The Cape will probably have really clean form but not quite glass. SSW is kind sideshore to offshore for us. If you can make it South, awesome, it should be fun everywhere 🙂

Thursday, could have waist to chest high leftovers , North to South, with strong offshore winds in the 15 mph plus range.

Air & Water temps: Monday the air temps at the Cape show 53 ° at daybreak with 15 mph NNW winds (feels like 48), getting up to 65 ° by the high point. Tuesday looks to be 58 ° at daybreak climbing to 72 by mid-day, and the water temp will be 68 ° near shore. Wednesday, air temp warm up to about 77 for a high, so for 2 weeks from March, these are awesome warm temperatures and consistent waves. Get Excited !!

Hope ya enjoy the pics 🙂

Wednesday night Surf Update (Feb 15) 11:30 PM for possible thigh high waves Thursday AM, How the Waves were Sunday late afternoon, with a longer title to this on Thursday when I finish ;( (February 15 2012 posted)

February 15, 2012February 15, 2012 by oldwaverider, posted in A summary of How the Waves were, Brevard Surf Predictions Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach

Thursday there is a 52.7 % chance of having some thigh high glassy waves on Thursday, but I believe down South mostly or only. South Cocoa Beach to Satellite. If the 120 buoy will provide us something like 3 to 3 1/2 feet, we may have a weak little ground swell. Winds should be SSW to S in the 6 to 8 mph range down South until 10 ish. Yeah, I like sticking my nose out 😉 I’m an optimist about swells and wind, the whole thing about gut feeling.

This past Sunday, I paddled out in Satellite Beach, and it was real fun rib high mostly, semi-glass waves with some fairly lengthy shoulders. Only 2 of us out. 4:00 afternoon, the winds were still howling around 16 North, air temp was 52 with a chill factor of 48, which I confess cut right thru my springsuit, but at least the water felt like a space heater at 68 🙂

The other guy came up with his wife, and he had a great session too, riding a 7’10.

I’ll finish this puppy on Thursday. Hope ya had a good day.

Triple overhead to 80 foot faces works best at Mavericks on a NW swell :) — Triple overhead to 80 foot faces works best at Mavericks on a NW swell 🙂

At Mavericks, it breaks best with a NW swell from triple overhead to 80 foot faces before it starts closing out and getting dangerous. Hey, check out the chart. I wouldn’t kid you about something like that 😉 Their water temp is around 52°, with a 12 foot at 12 second period swell with onshore winds, and my guess, 20 foot faces right now on the sets.

A nice chest high wall that held up a long time for this guy. May not look pretty :) Image 1 of 7 shot sequence. — A nice chest high wall that held up a long time for this guy. May not look pretty 🙂 Image 1 of 7 shot sequence.

Our Surf; we have 67.5 to 68 degree water for Sunday morning, and Rib to Shoulder high waves for the afternoon Sunday. Winds, at 2 to 3 PM are showing 16 mph NNW at the Cape. Air temp, 53°, with a 48 ° feels like temperature. But, it should be fairly glassy. I give it a 60 to 70 % chance that the winds do let the swell actually hit our beaches. Could be a fun session with a low crowd factor 🙂

Monday morning, if the swell is permitted to hit our beaches, it could be some glassy leftovers with size, it doubt any bigger than waist high anywhere.

The Photos here are from the ENE swell on February 4rth 2012 at Hightower’s, where we had rib to shoulder high waves with some overhead faces on the drops.

Still plenty of wave left to work. Image 4 of 7 sequence. Feb. 4 2012 , Satellite Beach.

2 New Faces at Peahi and the Best Paddle-In Video footage at Jaws I’ve seen, Surf Update Tuesday night 10:30 PM February 7 2012, Surf Report , Surf Forecast for Cape Canaveral , Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach (posted February 07, 2012)

February 7, 2012 by oldwaverider, posted in Big Wave Video & Photo Locations, Brevard Surf Predictions Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach, Hawaii - Jaws, Maui ; Pipeline

Short Surf Report below…the focus now is big wave video, my drug of choice 🙂

I had better be seeing one of you Johnson Avenue (and nearby streets :), Surfers asking Kelly Slater for the next steps you need to take to put yourself in places of Billabong XXL Surf locations. Not everyone or anyone is a hard core adrenaline junky, and not all adrenaline junkies burn their testosterone on the sport of Surfing, but the one who is, it’s a great chance to pursue your passion and live a dream of very few who have ever given it a try by just asking one of the folks in the Surfing World in Brevard how you can get started. It can’t hurt to have God on your side too like Slater and a number of others 🙂 (this is a blog right?, so I have to express opinions, you don’t have to buy them, but I do hope to help with producing those videos in the future)

This footage, is the sickest, most close-up, crystal clear stock of up close Jaws paddle-in surfing of 45 to 60 foot face Jaws. The day was January 4, 2012. Yeah there’s been a number of videos lately on the two massive paddle in sessions at Jaws this year, including that awesome Jeff Rowley footage; but these are 2 Surfer faces that aren’t seen there or haven’t been seen there before. Alex Gray, a balsy charger in the massive Cloudbreak, Fiji swell of July 2011, and I know other spots in the last year and a half (just can’t remember right now, and I’m sleepy). Plus, his eye for video and video creation and editing makes it that much more alive. His friend Dave Wassell, another insane charger (also a life guard in Hawaii and a Comedian, go figures :), who also has a respected set of Testostorone producing big wave chasing _ _ _ _s, some images from Cloudbreak of Dave show his passion for big-wave paddle in.

This video is pure eye-candy. I hope you have a Free Vimeo account so you can enjoy this puppy. (Vimeo is the YouTube place but with super HD full screen video as a standard)

Peahi “Jaws” 1/4/12 from Turkeymelt on Vimeo.

The next few days we should have smaller than today down South, but more of the same, kinda of 2 to 3 foot swell that can be fun at the right tides. But Sunday night we do have a 5 to 6 foot swell rolling in that should be around for at least 2 to 3 days. The winds look to be N to NNW Wednesday Am in the 7 to 10 mph range and then going straight North. At the right tide it could be fun.

When Sunday gets closer we’ll track the swell and winds a little tighter. Have a great Wednesday hump day!

Today was Chest high peaks peeling left and right, with A-frames at Hightowers 🙂 Well, it would have been nice if we had direct offshore winds, but…close enough, a little SSE to S, maybe SSW light. Only 8 or 10 of us out, and again, I didn’t even need a wetsuit, the water was hanging around 69 ° again.

A nice waist high right, yeah, unknown surfer on Johnson Avenue. Image 1 of 6 in sequence. Feb 5 2012 wind swell. Photos by Oldwaverider (Art)

The first set of photos are from an Unknown Surfer to me, at Johnson Ave on a nice right. (maybe one day I’ll find out the names of the unknowns 🙂 The Johnson Avenue photos were taken about 12:30 PM, around 40 minutes past low-tide.

The second part of the slideshow, is from Hightower Beach with a guy on a chest to shoulder high left. I took those around 10:15, after the winds turned SSE from calm, so it wasn’t as glassy as when I first paddled out around 8:30.

The rights and lefts were working great, the lefts maybe had some more juice to them.

Nice style of this unknown Wave Carver :) Image 3 of 6 in sequence. — Nice style of this unknown Wave Carver 🙂 Image 3 of 6 in sequence.

Monday may have some knee to waist high glass with a high period in the daybreak AM to kick up the power. The winds turn offshore just after Mid-nite, out of the SW and coming around to WNW at daybreak in the 3 to 7 mph range. By 9 or 10 AM, it appears to turn onshore out of the SSE.

Still going...Image 4 of 6 sequence. Photos by Oldwaverider

I don’t think the winds will blow the remaining swell flat overnight, so fingers crossed for some knee to waist high waves, Cape to Satellite Beach respectively 🙂

After Monday’s leftover’s, I don’t see much of anything down the Pike, except some knee high plus stuff for the Pier.

Guess she's contemplating the water temp ?

Today (Saturday Feb. 4) was a great day of Onshore chest to head high surf! North RC’s was pumping really nice today, with 4 to 6 foot faces and an occasional 7 foot plus face that rolled through 🙂 Many 70 to 100 yard rides were had by shortboarders and 1 longboarder out there. (yours truly)

Must be passing the word about the water temp to her friends :) — Must be passing the word about the water temp to her friends 🙂

I took about 250 shots today, only 6 to 8 surfers out at the most at any one time. An easy paddle out, which was a gift from above considering how usually head high plus chop can be a brutal paddle out. From 11 to 2 PM the winds were probably no more than 12 mph east by the time I left my Surf and Photo session.

His intentions were good on this maybe head high right; Image 1 of 3 in sequence. Photos by Oldwaverider.

I hope y’all like variety, but with only 6 surfers out there, I had to find other photo targets, and the beach at a number of nice ladies soaking up the sun and entertaining their kids or nieces, nephews 🙂

Hey, one Surfer Girl skinned it surfing there in a 2 piece, and she said she was fine until she got to the boardwalk and the winds started hitting. It was warm out there today, nice 🙂

Sunday Surf; looks like a solid waist high to maybe rib high for the Cape and chest to shoulder high in Satellite Beach. The winds are now looking to be direct South winds from the Cape to Satellite. As y’all know, South winds are slight offshore for the South

Board and Surfer, underwater; Image 3 of 3 in sequence. Photos by Oldwaverider (Art)

Streets (4rth st south to 16th), but are 6 to 10 degrees offshore for Satellite Beach when you go South of 2nd light. The winds are looking to be 5 to 7 mph South at daybreak, possibly SSE until 8 AM, then South around 5 to 7. So it could easily be SSW for an hour or two until mayb 9 AM.

It was a great, Sunny and uncrowded family day too :) — It was a great, Sunny and uncrowded family day too 🙂

The Cape, we may have some SSW by 9 or 10 Am for an hour or two, but that comes with 30 to 50 % Isolated Thunder Storms. South winds are onshore for the Cape, so to catch the glass, South of Picnic tables is your best bet.

Nice head high drop that tapered off, but still sweet. Image 1 of 5 shot sequence. North RC's from today Saturday Feb 4, 69 degree water, gotta love it!
