Category: Brevard Surf Predictions Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach

Sunday morning, down south , expect big waves 🙂  Very steep angle swell, so the Cape and even the Pier, may only be half the size of Satellite Beach, due to being blocked out.  What’s my prediction?  Well, if it was offshore winds, then I would say, we could see some close to double overhead faces in Satellite.  But, since it should be 6-8 mph ne winds at daybreak,  I believe we will see some 1-3 foot overhead faces, with a few 4 foot overhead faces by 9 am.  It looks like a ground swell, as it hit the 120 mile buoy at 7 pm tonight, 6 feet at 11 seconds.  High tide is 8 am , so try to hit dawn patrol!

Have fun, and be safe !

Friday morning for the 3rd day running looks to have waist to rib high plus glass until mid-morning, maybe noon.  Kinda like this past Monday down south 🙂

Sunday morning we may have a nice windswell with glass.  We’ve had wind swell all week, but we may get some distinct offshore winds and have waist to maybe chest high glass down South.

Those of you that haven’t seen the Video I posted a year ago or so, called “Johnson Avenue Surfers – 3 years in Review”,  I share it below.

This was a video of some local surfers/friends 10 or so people, with 5 soundtrack songs by Bob Marley and Guerilla Jazz, from Maui.  It’s long, but that’s so we could get everyone in here.  Young and Old surfers, from Cape Canaveral, The Pier, and Hanger near 2nd Light.

Enjoy!

Monday morning early, is looking fun!  The call is waist to chest at the Cape to the Pier, and chest to head high in Satellite Beach !

Winds 3-5 mph North, so slight offshore from 4rth Street North to the Cape.  And onshore in S CCB and Satellite Beach, but with light onshores, it should be clean and almost ground swell 🙂

Have a fun Monday Am, the winds will pickup to 7-12 from 11 am on, so get out early!

Strong groundswell piggybacking the windswell we just had the last two days.  7-8 foot ground swell hits 120 buoy, and just hit 6 feet at 12 seconds,at the 20 mile buoy at 9:50 PM.  The winds are over 20mph at the 120 blowing west, so we’ll just have to see if it holds the swell back, or if it fully comes in 🙂

The winds show to be 2-4 mph NNW switching around to East, and not increasing until 11 AM or so.

It’s worth doing dawn patrol to catch some chest high glass again.

 

Short for now 🙂  Friday morning looking rib to chest high and glassy Friday morning with WNW winds in the 4 -7 mph range.  The winds will be offshore earlier in the morning down  South in Satellite Beach.  Also, this swell is so steep as a NE swell, 24 ° today, and 40 plus degrees Friday, so my guess, is the Cape won’t even look like there’s waves hardly.  The pier may or may not even hit waist high.

Satellite Beach or at least second light may be necessary to get where the swell is not blocked out by the Cape.

Swell drops fast in size all day, and is biggest Friday before Noon.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Those of you kind enough to be in front of the Camera, surfing great or surfing marginal like me,  I hope to have some footage of you from December 11, 2014 when we had some 5 to 8 foot faces.  I will post a couple shaky clips of 10 to 12 foot faces from the day before.

Sorry I couldn’t shoot any footage from the nice Sunday , 12/28 5-7 foot face swell we had.  But maybe some of you are in the December 11th Noreaster Day.

Maybe I’ll make it a 5 or 6 minute video and have a bunch of short clips of attempts, instead of just the longer rides or specially talented folks.

I’ll work on it between now and the weekend, and post it as a last 2014 video.

Thanks all of you for being friends out in the water.  Hightowers has a special place in my heart, LOL

Happy New Year!

Sunday morning is still on track for being big and powerful!  Well fairly big, but definitely powerful 🙂  The swell is to be 3 feet at 14-16 seconds, and I posted the Period (not swell size, but the period chart) Chart to show you how uniform and perfectly spread out the size (width and height of the swell in area of the ocean) of the swell is.

The ground swell comes in Saturday night, and by daybreak Sunday, we could and should have chest to shoulder high plus waves, biggest down south, as this is an East/Northeast swell so the Cape and Pier does get blocked out some, and as of two days running, the winds look to be South to SSW in the 3 to 6 mph range, up until maybe 10 AM, and then goes back South.  South of say 6th street south, that means slight offshore, and in Satellite Beach, that means even more offshore.
