Category: Brevard Surf Predictions Cape Canaveral
Video of Paul at Hightowers today, a nice Coverup and Exit! 8 foot to double overhead EPIC waves today! Friday should be fun but NNW Winds, Thursday , February 12, 9:30 PM Surf Report and Forecast for Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite beach surf report (posted 02/12/2015)
Today was none other than epic in Satellite Beach! 8 foot to double overhead faces, I have lots of Video footage. Some Awesome talent out there today 🙂
Surf update, below video! It was amazing the difference today between the Pier which was rib high this morning at 6:45, and in Satellite Beach it was 10 foot plus faces at 7:15, turning double overhead by 9 or 10 AM
Video below of a guy Paul that I met on a nice 8-9 foot face or so, with a nice Coverup, and working the wall!
Paul’s Coverup on a Nice 8 foot to Double Overhead Day from Art Hansen on Vimeo.
A double Overhead ride below, same day, same time:
Friday, should be chest high plus at the Cape or Pier, and probably 1 to 2 foot overhead plus in Satellite Beach. The winds are looking NNW in the 8 to 15 mph range, so surfing North of 4rth street North is your best bet. NNW is onshore in Satellite Beach. Still, should be fun waves!
Saturday should be chest to shoulder high, North going South respectively with more direct offshore winds 🙂
I will be producing a Video from the 70 video clips I shot today of the Awesome talent at Hightowers.
Epic Waves still on track for Thursday! 13 second period swell in the morning! Wednesday , February 11, 6:30 PM Surf Report and Forecast for Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite beach surf report (posted 02/11/2015)
Will it be big? Yeah. The winds are blowing NNW at the 20 mile and 120 buoy, but I will say a prayer, that the winds don’t hold the swell back!
If it comes in fully, expect the same as I shared yesterday. Thursday, 6-9 foot faces at the Pier, and possible bigger sets, (the angle of swell will block the Cape and the Pier some), but in Satellite Beach and Indialantic, we should see 9-12 foot faces with some bigger sets. Winds should be offshore at daybreak, around 4-6 mph West, and increasing about 1 mph per hour for each hour, throughout the day.
It will be 47 degrees at daybreak, but climb to 60 before Noon. Wear gloves! I will 🙂
DON’T FORGET TO WATCH THE VIDEO ON YESTERDAY’S POST, FOR YOU PEOPLE THAT WANT TO SEE THE 2ND BIGGEST DAY FROM THE 7 DAY NOR-EASTER BACK IN DECEMBER!
Surfing Video from December big swell, plus, Thursday (2/12) looking Massive, Glassy and … Cold ! Tuesday , February 10, 12:30 PM Surf Report and Forecast for Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite beach surf report (posted 02/10/2015)
What should Thursday bring? See the Video of the 2nd big day (smaller than the day before), of the big Nor-easter we had December 11th, in Satellite Beach down below!
The models show 7-7.5 feet at 13 seconds which means, 8 to 12 foot faces, possibly plus, in Satellite Beach. If the winds are low, as Weather.com says they should be at daybreak, then the swell should fully come in. If they are hard offshore, then as we saw the delay with Gonzalo and a few other swells, they can take an extra day to come in, or get blown apart a bit.
Wednesday will have some size kicking in with some very strong NNW winds switching North as the size builds thru the day, but I shall wait for Thursday, when it’s 48 in the morning, LOL 🙂
Thursday morning should be 6-8 foot faces at the Pier with bigger sets, and 8-12 foot faces in Satellite Beach with bigger sets. Winds show offshore, West winds around 4-6 mph, and increasing all day, up to 20 plus mph, so get out early! (4rth day of the models have said this, and when the models hold up for 3 or 4 days, they usually materialize)
Friday looks like strong North winds, still huge, and maybe blowing offshore NNW to NW later in the day.
Saturday looks rib to chest high and offshore and lots of fun.
The video below is from the 2nd biggest day of the 7 day Northeast swell we had the 1st and 2nd week of December. This video was shot 12/11/2014, around 10 Am to 12 Pm. The soundtrack is from a band called “Guerrilla Jazz”, from Maui, Hawaii. The song is called “One Day We’ll Be Gone”. Billy Kemper, a big wave surfer in Hawaii, has a cousin or relative in the band. Four or so years ago, this video below mine, was done with Laird Hamilton mentoring Billy, along with Ian Walsh.
Waist to Chest high and glassy surf Friday morning, with swell dropping quick after 9-10 AM. Posted Thursday 5:05 PM , January 29 2015
A one day swell, and then another rolls in! But Friday morning looks to be waist to chest high and west winds in the 6-8 mph range. Should be almost a ground swell, at least at the 120 mile buoy it is, so we should have some decent lines. Even if it’s just peaks, waist to chest and glassy is good!
The Big Ground Swell hit our beaches around 6 PM tonight! Thursday and Friday morning is looking real fun. Wednesday , January 14 10:00 PM Surf Report and Forecast for Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite beach surf report (posted 01/14/2015)
It’s been nice having a fun wind swell the last few days, and even had some power at RC’s of course and the Pier. I had a blast at the pier Tuesday morning ! But now we have a Ground swell for Thursday and Friday. My apologies, I still haven’t been able to process the Video for the 5-8 foot face glassy day of our 7 day NE’ster swell the last part of December.
Thursday our 4 feet at 11 second period swell should bring some solid chest to head high waves, with some overhead drops on the bigger sets. The winds report is a little confusing, because 2 models right now oppose each other. The models are calling for North winds. But my call, is NNW winds at daybreak in the 8-12 mph range and should increase to 16 by early afternoon. I believe it will stay NNW most of the day. Satellite Beach will be sideshore w maybe 5 degree offshore for a couple hours.
Friday, the swell size drops to 3.5 feet at 11 seconds, but I suspect Friday will be the big day anyhow. Or biggest, and certainly, the most glassy day, and glass jacks up size. Chest to Head high plus at the Pier with maybe some 1 foot overhead drops, and Satellite should see the same with a greater chance of a few overhead drops. We have NW winds for a few hours in the morning, but don’t get cocky, the winds turn NNW probably by 11 am in Satellite which is sideshore. This is the perfect swell for Satellite. But the Pier should also be awesome, and glassier than down south. So pick your poison. Either way, we should have 2 fun days of surf.
Oh, and don’t forget, bring gloves on Friday. Air temp will be in the 52-56 degree range most of the day, with a wind chill around 3 degrees, so it will feel like 50 until around 11 or 12, then the temp pops up just a little over 60.
Enjoy, should be some power and lots of fun!

Sunday morning down south could be big and semi-glassy! Christmas Eve 11:30 AM Surf Report and Forecast for Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite beach surf report (posted 12/24/2014)
We have a quick powerful ground swell coming in for Sunday morning/day, and for two days running, the models show south winds, which is slight offshore for South CCB to the Inlet.
Sunday morning it could be chest to shoulder high plus and clean/semi-glass conditions. Low tide around 6:30 AM
Get excited! That’s a lot more than the knee high stuff we’ve had since the big NE’ster 🙂
If you haven’t seen the 2nd Hurricane Gonzalo video (1st one below) or the no Tripod, quick 3 clips of the big glassy day in Satellite Beach of the Big Northeast 7 day swell (2nd video), check them out!

Tuesday and Wednesday both looking massive and epic! Powerful Ground swell that crosses the entire Atlantic! Monday evening 9:15 PM Surf Report and Forecast for Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite beach surf report (posted 12/08/2014)
What Size and Form can we expect Tuesday morning and day? Maybe chest high and glassy…
JUST KIDDING 🙂
WOW! The 20 mile buoy hit 11.5 feet at 15 seconds at 10 PM tonight.
It will be overhead for sure ! How big? My call for Tuesday morning and day is 3 to 6 foot overhead is the possibility with possible bigger sets. More like 3 -4 foot overhead on the bigger sets at the Pier and in Cocoa Beach. Satellite Beach, if the storm fully comes in tomorrow, I don’t think the winds will be too strong West at the 120 to hold it back, but at the beach, it may delay it a half day. But being optimistic, I believe in Satellite Beach we have a good chance at some double overhead waves.
Winds Tuesday should be in the 18-20 mph range at daybreak from the NW, and slowing down, tidbits, to maybe 12 mph WNW at 6 PM.
Air temp high should be around 64 at Noon or 1 PM, water temp 68-69 degrees. The sun pops out by 9 am, and should be completely sunny by 11 or 12 noon. High tide going low is at 9:15 for the Port, and 9:30 in Satellite Beach. So I like the noon approach where the winds are down to 15 mph, and mid tide is 12:30.
Wednesday will be very cold (for Florida surfing weather , not for Snowbirds or transplants). The low temp for Wednesday at daybreak is 47 and the high is 58 around 1 or 2 PM. Which is also the best time to paddle out (in my opinion, cause I like high going low mid-tide best in Satellite, cause I ride a long board).
Surf size Wednesday, if there is no delay from the winds holding the swell back, should be 2 to 4 foot overhead with NW winds in the 14 to 6 mph range, going from daybreak to 6 PM.
Big glassy surf expected for Thursday and decent for Friday also. This weather pattern up above is doing a nice job giving us offshore winds too, praise God for that one too!
The photos below are from a NE swell on November 10 2011 that was 6 feet at 11-12 seconds. We had a few 12-14 foot face sets that day in Satellite. I shot many double overhead sequence rides, and some smaller shots, like the barrel that I caught the guy in below (was a 6 shot sequence)
The barrel photo page , that I posted on at Magicseaweed.com back in 2011 is here: http://magicseaweed.com/photoLab/viewPhoto.php?photoId=257875&browseSession=5d26f2039192deb5ba85c69b7f593ddd
Saturday and Sunday wind conditions look great with chest to shoulder high waves , Friday evening 7:00 PM Surf Report and Forecast for Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite beach surf report (posted 12/05/2014)
The Buzz of Surf is in the air! Swells, swells and more swells! Wind swells not groundswells, but we should have some fun peaks and brief walls 🙂
Saturday am looks chest to shoulder high going from North at the Cape and the Pier, with bigger waves in Satellite Beach. Winds are onshore, but 1 mph at daybreak, and could be offshore for an hour even. But they don’t climb much during the day, so it should be big and clean and fun, as this long lasting wind swell delivers.
Sunday looks rib to chest high and glassy with bigger waves down south. Winds offshore, WNW turning NNW before noon, so if you’re gonna surf down south for glass, get it early. Otherwise, the glass should linger longer up North here.
Then we have big ground swells overhead coming in all next week.
Have a Great weekend, and don’t forget to hit Friday Fest street Party and Vendors in Cape Canaveral by City Hall!
Waist to Rib high secondary swell coming in saturday morning, will be almost a groundswell…Friday evening 10:45 PM Surf Report and Forecast for Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Satellite beach surf report (posted 11/28/2014)
A little bit of a swell coming in tonight. It’s the ground swell , well almost groundswell part of this wind swell that we have had. The stronger period of the swell will come in sometime after midnight, we hope.
Saturday AM, Should be waist high waves, and rib high plus down south. Satellite likes a NE swell the best. But the winds, will only be slight offshore here till 8 Am ish maybe. When I say offshore, I mean North winds which are around 4 degrees offshore for the pier, and maybe 8 or 10 degrees for Johnson Avenue. Then they turn NE from 8 to 10, so not too bad. South of Minuteman causeway it will probably be totally onshore both days.
Sunday, which is the reason why I’m mentioning this swell, is because it could hit chest high plus for a few hours on Sunday. But the winds are looking to be NE from 6 to 10 mph.
